Script:
Hello, my name is ____________, I’m from ____ , and I am calling about the state budget. I'm calling to ask you to consider Wisconsin's transportation spending priorities. I care about this because ______. 

In this state budget, I request that you do not enumerate any new highway expansion projects that are costly to taxpayers and brings more cars to the road rather than improve traffic. Instead, please fund local priorities: a $40 million increase to local roads, a $36 million increase to public transit, and a $6 million increase to specialized transportation that benefits seniors and people with disabilities. 

Please build a transportation system that gets Wisconsinites where we need to go. Thank you.
