So which WI programs get drained for road work?

Our perpetually-campaigning Governor keeps saying that he opposes increases in the Wisconsin gas tax or vehicle registration fee while supporting spending record amounts of money on local toad repairs and state highway maintenance.

While also keeping many major highway expansion projects on schedule.

So when will we see which education, transit, environmental inspection or health programs get shredded to pay for all the road work?

And just once I'd like to see a mainstream media story reference Walker's role in launching the multi-billion Southeast Wisconsin major highway system expansion which will eventually add 127 miles of new lanes, which has long distorted all state road spending and now may in the pending budget drain public dollars from basic, general purpose social and education programs.
