Editorial: Reynolds and the Project 66 lesson
The editorial argues Gov. Reynolds misjudged Wisconsin's appetite for deficit spending by calling a costly special session to push Project 66 highway plans. It warns the move risks future construction speedups and could become a political liability in 1964, potentially shaping a Republican response if the referendum fails. It questions whether Reynolds will seek a second term without a Kennedy bandwagon.
