On Wednesday Governor Doyle announced plans to spend the first $300 million out of $550 million stimulus funds on 63 road construction and repair projects in 30 counties. Just under half of counties in Wisconsin made this first round but a glaring omission has to be Milwaukee County.

Of course it’s unclear whether any or all of Milwaukee’s requested projects will get funded but seeing what the City of Milwaukee requested shows the goals and direction of the city.
