Decker answers criticism on transportation
Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, D-Weston, said the budget repair bill just passed by the Senate does a good job on many levels, including protecting transportation funding.
Decker said the bill does protect the funding for road projects, a departure from the bonding proposed by the governor in his budget repair plan forwarded in March.
"You all just voted against protecting transportation," he said to those who voted "no."
"We protected transportation. You all just voted against it."
As for the potential of a veto, Decker said Senate Democrats believe "very strongly this budget should be signed as it is."
