Yet another big spending boondoggle from the Kenyan.
Barry handing out the taxpayers’ money to buy himself votes?
oh goody more trains..... thank you lord Obama.
I like the trains in Europe.... I’d rather see rockets in the U.S. (Innovation in the US is dying in the hands of the government)
Willie Green would be proud.
I don’t care because I got my Obama phone.
More union members...more Dem votes.
“$121 million in federal funding”
i sure hope those people in new england remember to thank the good people of florida (and other states) for paying for their jobs program
i’m so glad 50%+ of my day can help people 1500 miles away that regard FL with contempt
/sarc
if you didn’t know, when more then half your day isn’t your own... that’s when you know you’re a slave
Didn’t Bostom have something called the “Big Dig” that cost us taxpayers about 1000 X what was originally projected, and then as soon as they finished, it started falling apart and killing people?
I guess they need another 50 year project to feed the trolls.
OK.....that’s 62 miles, and for the sake of the discussion, it does 110mph the whole way.....and they’re going to have a train leaving every 30 minutes....must have two tracks.....
Just another waste of the soon to be impoverished Tax Payers dollars.
This Governor is crazy.

Moron Malloy somehow thinks these new boondogle transportation projects between dying cities will buy him votes. The New Britain Hartford busway will be filled with empty buses, and this new high speed rail line won’t even stop at Bradley airport. And even if it did, it still wouldn’t make sense. Yeah right, I’m going to leave my car parked in Hartford for a week. Not. Morons like Malloy are a threat to our republic.
Sounds mighty low to me. That works out to an average of 3450 a day. California will have 4500 boarding in Fresno and 5100 in Bakersfield. Is there less pie in the New England sky?
PS How long before Fresno tips over?
it's ALL Barbara Streisand
State capitals are high power magnets for ‘high speed rail.
High-speed rail between those sorry little cities makes no sense. Meanwhile, Amtrak and the commuter rails in the business end of the state crawl along inefficiently.
From New Haven to Springfield... one sewer to another, with a couple of stop-offs in the sister dumps of Middletown and Hartford.
What a load of crap. More backroom deals and money-stuffing into union pockets. Worthless. What person of import would use this crap method of transportation?
