Breaking the Transportation Gridlock

The direction of transportation priorities and funding — hotly debated in Wisconsin for months — is the topic of a forum in Milwaukee May 12.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin business advisory committee is organizing the event, which is 9:30-11:30 a.m. at Renaissance Place, 1451 N. Prospect Ave.

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor emeritus William Holahan will serve as the moderator.

Panelists will include Craig Thompson, executive director of the Transportation Development Association; Ashwat Narayanan, director of transportation policy for 1000 Friends of Wisconsin; and Peter Skopec, director of Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group.

A news release from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin said, “The forum is an opportunity to listen to three varying viewpoints on the transportation funding issue.”

After brief presentations, the forum’s audience will have an opportunity to ask questions.
