of Doyle, the State Fair Board, & Decay

The Milwaukee Mile is dead, probably for good. This Governor is succeeding in destroying this once great state. This week the lastest deal to find a promoter for the Milwaukee Mile failed when the Governor's State Fair Board quietly changed the already agreed upon contract. The Guiffre Brothers with Menard and other Wisconsin business were our only hope. Trust between the State and WI businesses have been left in ruins.

The Mile will sit now, it's new stands rusting, without races for the foreseeable future. Doyle's DOT also announced this week that the nearby I94 I894 (Zoo) Interchange, which by the way is already diverting truck traffic off the bridges, needs to be rebuilt by May 30, 2010. This emergency bridge rebuild is not the planned 2011 or 2013 redesign. That work will have to come later at more cost. Doyle and his cronies are leaving Wisconsin is decay because they do not understand the importance of cars, roads, and those silly races that glorify a time gone by. The history of this once great track has been destroyed.
