P.s. It was sent to me by one of my buddies who does the Wednesday
Night Drive-to-Bike Rides. I think it was an act of vengeance
against my constant poking at him about it!

I'm tired of ignorant motorists and their advocates perpetuating the
myth that the roads are paid for exclusively by motorists through
user fees such as fuel taxes and vehicle registrations. Let's set the
record straight:
Almost half of Wisconsin's public roadway expenditures are covered by
property taxes.
Specifically, WisDOT contracted to have a pricing study done as part
of their last state plan done in the mid-1990s. Analyzing 1992 data,
the study concluded that 44% of total public roadway expenditures
were covered by non-user fees (primarily property taxes).
