We look forward to that redistribution back to the State of Wisconsin. I would conclude my comments by reiterating that I do support the overall bill, and in theory I support what is being said here, that the tax dollars that are collected at the gas pump from the gasoline users should be spent to build highways and should be reallocated in this manner. What I do not think should happen is that that money should be pork barreled into certain districts. When we put it into certain districts, it is not available in the general kitty to be reallocated in the general well-thought-out manner that the formula would indicate.
