Milwaukee,MN,USA -Duluth News Tribune (Duluth,MN)/Associated Press -May. 10, 2006: -- The mayor pulled the plug Wednesday on a proposed $300 million electric bus system for Milwaukee - a day after the Common Council endorsed the plan...

Barrett said in his veto message that he supports public transit, but the proposal had too many unanswered questions, such as where some $57 million in local funding would come from and what would happen if the expected $243 million in federal money didn't materialize...
