Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter is asking state legislators for a 6 percent increase in transportation funding, one of the few bright spots in next year's budget plan.  Ritter submitted the request to lawmakers Monday as part of his $1.03 billion transportation budget proposal for next year.  Ritter says the additional money comes from new fees on vehicle registrations, which are producing an estimated $161 million for bridge and roadway repair and safety work next year.
