Wisconsin high-speed rail money to go elsewhere
BY TODD RICHMOND • ASSOCIATED PRESS • DECEMBER 10, 2010
MADISON — Travelers will have to keep making the 80-mile trip between Madison and Milwaukee by road for the foreseeable future. And Democrats are livid about it.
President Barack Obama's administration announced Thursday it will shift $810 million in federal stimulus dollars meant for a high-speed rail line between Wisconsin's capital and largest city to other states, officially ending months of debate. The administration also pulled $385 million from Ohio that would have gone to create passenger rail in that state.
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood issued a statement saying the administration stripped the two states of the money because incoming Republican governors opposed the projects.
Let's see if the state unions will now come to the negotiation table?
