A watchdog in Madison says it doesn’t make sense to spend road money on Milwaukee’s streetcar.
Mike Nichols with the Badger Institute said last week that the plan from Governor Tony Evers’ administration to use road money to expand the streetcar goes against the idea of earmarking money for roads. Nichols says not only would the governor take money away from road construction, but he says there’s no evidence The Hop is bringing tourists to Milwaukee.
