Sending a local company out of Milwaukee County with the job loss is a real Tea Party solution. I guess you showed us Scott. We’ll be watching the State of Wisconsin debt rate increase as it mirrors what you did to Milwaukee County. Only 3 more years of this stupidity.

In all seriousness though, I was extremely disappointed because of that too. Chicago was the only direction that really made sense for MN (what else…St. Louis or KC?). Best they can do now is an intra-state system (F/M, Mpls, Duluth, St. Cloud, Rochester, Winona, Morris, I-Falls) and let WI know what they’re missing out on. Imagine going from Fargo to Mpls in just over an hour (figuring in one or two stops) instead of the regular 3 (or longer in winter)!

I think it’s also safe to assume CA has the most ambitious rail plan. Lastly, we need to cash the worst.

These projects would’ve produced home grown jobs and provide long-term employment.

You can’t tell me that Iowa and Indiana are gonna be able to do a whole lot with barely $300K. But California can get $624 million?? I’m happy that this HSR is in the works, but I just don’t understand the money split.

As an endpoint for some of that High Speed Rail goodness, WI has effectively given us the finger.
