Just in case anyone missed it, Wisconsin now OWNS the Governorship, the House and the Assembly in our state!!
If it's 'Change' you want...She's a comin'! :)
(The GOP OWNS...)
Congrats on that accomplishment. Next, get rid of Herb Kohl.
Florida? Our new governor, Rick Scott, as already indicated that he will ax the high-speed rail boon-doggle here.
Willie Green will be deeply saddened.
Hawaii is set to blow at least $5 billion, of course with overruns and union corruption, the final cost will be twice that.
I floors me. Folks out here believe having a train will increase tourism. Really, folks are gonna come to Hawaii to ride the train? Really?
A strange new definition of High-Speed.
The general response I've seen was "It goes about driving speed on its own schedule and doesn't stop where it is convenient. Why wouldn't I just drive instead?" If it cut the travel time by half, then it might have gotten a positive opinion, but counting stops it was slower than driving between cities.
Gov Moonbeam can use it in California. They’re now planning a high speed government boondoggle train track from nowhere (Borden, CA) to nowhere (Corcoran, CA) a whopping distance of 54 miles. Trust me. No one wants to travel to either place. From, maybe.

Great! Now Wisconsin will not waste Federal and State tax dollars.
Now to the unions.....(from Jsonline.com)
Governor-elect Scott Walker raised the possibility of essentially abolishing state employee unions on Tuesday as one option to control rising employee benefits costs and eliminate the state’s budget deficit.
Walker, a Republican, said he’s looking at a range of options that would weaken unions, including eliminating their ability to negotiate with the state.
“Anything from the decertify all the way through modifications of the current laws in place,” Walker said at a luncheon sponsored by the Milwaukee Press Club at the Newsroom Pub.
The money will be redistributed to Blue states. They will not stop spending or reduce debt.
Wisconsin has no need for high speed rail. this was just a ploy to get the Wisconsin taxpayers to pay for the rail lines in Illinois. Having grown up in Wisconsin you can get from Milwaukee to Madison in less than 2 hours. i have been through Ohio on the tollway = there is no need for the high speed rail too.
It is not high speed rail that the liberals desire it is the desire for social engineering - get everyone to live on the rail line - no need for expressways and suburbs, no need for cars.
Social engineering Sucks
Oh, sure...the three begging sisters, CA, FL, and IL, will be glad to take it to keep more union government workers at the public trough. There won’t be a single mile of additional track laid in these miserable failed states, and no one will ever find out where the money went.
OORAH!
