What a boondoggle. It’s probably more of a slush fund. Amtrak already runs between Kalamazoo and Detroit and probably averages 60 to 70 mph. The “high” speed is going to be 79 and eventually 110...big whoop. What a waste of money. And who needs to travel between there??? It’s not like there’s huge commuters between the two areas and neither are huge vacation destinations.
This is about setting up the republicans. Why didn’t this money appear last year? Funny how it appears when the GOP is virtually assured of victory. The Smart republicans will kill the project and the democrats will immediately start screaming bloody murder.
Not a boondoggle or even a slush fund yet. This is pure and simple vote-buying in the week before the election. They’re not even trying to pretend any more.
