WI Assembly Speaker: Maybe there should be no new borrowing for roads

MADISON - Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says Republicans are discussing delaying $1.3 billion worth of highway construction and other roads projects across Wisconsin since Gov. Scott Walker is unwilling to raises taxes or fees to pay for it.

Vos said Wednesday that Republicans are talking about not doing any of the additional borrowing Walker asked for in his budget to pay for roads projects.

Other Republicans have talked about lowering the amount of bonding by between $300 million and $800 million.
