Statewide Referendum, Gov.; More on Nov. 4 Wisconsin Ballot

WISCONSINREPORT.COM (10/24/2014) [ELECTIONS-Update] – A statewide Referendum, Governor and more will be on the statewide Wisconsin ballot November 4, 2014. We have the choices you will find on your ballot.

You will be asked to choose a Governor and Lt. Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Congressional Representative, State Assembly Representative, and a State Referendum Question, plus some county candidates and questions.

For State of Wisconsin Governor and Lt. Governor, you will find Mary Burke and John Lehman (Democrat), Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch (Republican), Robert Burke and Joseph M. Brost (Libertarian) and Dennis Fehr, is running as the Peoples Party candidate for Governor.

There are three candidates attempting to be the State Attorney General: Susan V. Happ (Democrat), Brad Schimel (Republican), and Thomas A. Nelson, Sr. (Libertarian).

Candidates for Wisconsin Secretary of State, include, Doug La Follette (Democratic), Julian Bradley (Republican), Jerry Broitzman (Constitution Party), and Andy Craig (Libertarian Party).

You must choose from one of five candidates running for State Treasurer: David L. Sartori (Democratic), Matt Adamczyk

(Republican), Andrew Zuelke (Constitution Party), Ron Hardy (Wisconsin Green Party), or Jerry Shidell (Libertarian).

Your choices for your Representative to the U.S. House will depend on which Wisconsin Congressional District in which you reside. The same is true  for your State Assembly District Representative in Madison.

The state-wide Referendum question regards the “Creation of a Transportation Fund. Shall section 9 (2) of article IV and section 11 of article Vlll of the constitution be created to require that revenues generated by use of the state transportation system be deposited

into a transaction fund administered by a department of transportation for the exclusive purpose of funding Wisconsin’s transportation systems and to prohibit any transfers or lapses from this fund?”

You must answer Yes, or No, to the state-wide referendum, which is intended to prevent the State of Wisconsin Legislature and Wisconsin Governor from borrowing money from the fund and use the money for other purposes.

Most people have been under the impression that money going into the Transportation Fund is used only for Transportation Dept. purposes. However, there is no such stipulation at present. This Referendum is intended to make it legally clear the Legislature and Governor’s budgets cannot transfer the Transportation Funds for any other use, no matter what political party.
