This one is on the road to final passage

While campaigning for governor, Scott Walker decried raids on the state"s transportation fund under his predecessor, Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle.

Walker pledged to take some state sales tax collections -- from vehicle sales -- and earmark the cash for the general transportation fund.

In March 2011, Walker put the proposal into his 2011-"13 state budget proposal.

As the Journal Sentinel reported:

Walker proposes "putting more than $35 million in sales tax revenue from vehicles into the transportation fund. Under Walker's plan, the state would deposit 7.5% of the revenue on the sales of vehicles and vehicle parts into the transportation fund. That percentage would rise annually until it reached 50% in fiscal 2021.”

There has been opposition to Walker"s proposal, even among majority Republicans. It remains to be seen whether Walker accomplishes his goal. But for now we"ll rate it as In The Works.
