The Assembly Committee on Transportation voted Tuesday in favor of increasing Wisconsin's maximum speed limit to 70 miles per hour.
“I am very pleased,” said Representative Paul Tittl (R-Manitowoc), the bill's author. \"This is a common sense bill that Democrats and Republicans support.”
The committee rejected an amendment that would have allowed the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to establish a 65 mph limit for commercial vehicles.
