Sparsely populated midwestern states may get stimulus money for rail.... this makes no sense.

The midwest needs to step aside and let regions that have the density to actually use high speed rail - the northeast or cali - have the money!

CHICAGO (AP) — Eight Midwestern states hope to secure federal stimulus money for a network of faster passenger trains with Chicago as its hub — joining forces to boost their chances of getting a cut of $8 billion set aside for high-speed rail.

...

The multistate appeal comes days before the White House is expected to release further details about the kinds of projects that would qualify for the billions marked for high-speed trains.

The governors' proposal, dubbed the Midwest Regional Rail Initiative and first conceived a decade ago, focuses on upgrading three existing routes by 2014 — one between Chicago and St. Louis, one between Chicago and Madison, Wis., via Milwaukee and one between Chicago and Pontiac, Mich., through Detroit.

Improvements to tracks and equipment on those routes should enable trains to reach speeds of 110 miles per hour, according to the governors' letter, dated Friday.

...

Later phases of the project would improve other lines, including a route between St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo.

...

Other governors who signed the letter are Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Chet Culver of Iowa, Jennifer Granholm of Michigan, Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, Ted Strickland of Ohio and Jim Doyle of Wisconsin. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley also signed.

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Jennifer Granholm ...what a joke! Her greatest accomplishment since she took office... 0. She's not fit to govern a dog kennel.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

You have no vision A.J. Rail travel is the new tourism.

Also, you have to remember the obese people, now they can no longer travel cheap by Air, they need options. Trains don't discriminate against obesity.

Refusing to use the spellchick!

I have put you on ignore. No really, I have, but you are still ruining my enjoyment of this site. .

more porkbarreling ####### from a guy who has done nothing butt pull pork his entire working life. this time he pulls pork right back to his hometown so he can pay off all of his corrupt business contacts by awarding them contracts at millions over cost and get shoddy workmanship, just like he has done as long as he's been in the business of fleecing the American taxpayers. wonder who is gonna arrange for him to "buy a house" at 40% of market value next?

you voted for this A$$hole. now you gotta watch him rob all of us blind. oh wait, none of you yerks who voted for this creep pay taxes, anyway. he mails you all "earned income credit" (free cash), so what's not to like. so what if the entire system buckles under the weight of corruption and the welfare burden. you got yours for sitting on the porch.
