• Deep cuts, loss of federal funds, and shift in funding for transit. Moves transit funding from the Transportation Fund to the General Fund (where it will face intense competition from other programs) and keeps a 3% increase in 2011, and 10% reduction in 2012 and no increase in 2013.  Removes $100 million in bonding authority for transit in S.E. Wisconsin (the KRM.)  This, coupled with the provision in the budget repair bill that costs the state $44 million in transit aids will devastate transit in the state. (1000 Friends of Wisconsin) http://www.1kfriends.org/news/.
