State Budget Update: Staying in the fund

Early on Wednesday morning, at the end of the final meeting that the Joint Finance Committee was having on the budget a large motion was passed including a provision keeping transit in the transportation fund.

While transit will be staying in the transportation fund, the 4% restoration will be shifted to 2015. This is problematic for Milwaukee bus riders, since the one time grants propping up service will expire in the beginning of 2014.
