Motion Threatens Future of County Highway Dept.

By Myles Dannhausen Jr.

At a special meeting of the Door County Board of Supervisors Sunday night, Door County Highway Commissioner John Kolodziej said a provision in the state budget bill could cost his department more than $500,000 a year in revenue and jeopardize its future viability.

The rare Sunday meeting was called by County Board Chairman Leo Zipperer to discuss Motion 352, which was passed by the Wisconsin Legislature's Joint Finance Committee June 2. The motion would prohibit county highway departments from doing road projects costing over $100,000 if a share of state or federal funding is used to pay for the work. It would also prevent one unit of government from doing construction for another.
