MARKESAN, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A Wisconsin State Senator says the state budget needs to include money to improve local roads serving farmers.
Markesan Republican, Joan Ballweg, says smaller county and town bridges are in need of serious repairs.
“Making it difficult for our farmers to get their product to the main arteries, I think is something that has been overlooked for some time,” said Ballweg.
Ballweg wants to see $150 million in the budget for those bridges and roads.
Ballweg serves on the state’s legislative joint finance committee, so she will have some say in the budget presented to the Governor.
