The State Senate, the State Assembly, and the State Governor all agreed — Wisconsin's rural roads need additional funding. The support was so strong that Senate Bill 247 passed both the Senate and the Assembly via a unanimous vote on June 15. Less than a week later, Governor Tony Evers signed the $150 million funding measure into law and Senate Bill 247 has now become Wisconsin Act 13. 'The quality of our local roads, bridges, and highways is critical to the success of our farmers, their families, and our state's economy,' stated Governor Tony Evers in signing the bill into law at Hamburg Hills Farm in Stoddard, Wis.
