Federal highway spending in Wisconsin dipped over 5 years

Federal aid for Wisconsin highways dropped by 3.6 percent, nearly $28 million, over the five years ending in 2013, according to data obtained by The Associated Press, exacerbating the state's woes in finding money for road projects. Wisconsin's loss wasn't as large as some of its neighboring states - Minnesota saw a nearly 33 percent drop because of unique circumstances, Michigan an 8 percent decline and Illinois a 6.4 percent dip, according to Federal Highway Administration data.
