Well, until right after he turned the funds down, then he immediately petitioned to get the federal funds again.
So he apparently loves federal funds to pay for your trains. Just not when it's called what he campaigned against.
But Walker's in charge now. His opinion counts, not your previous legislature and governor that thought it was good for Wisconsin. Oh, well, Wisconsin's loss is other states' gain.
Too bad you guys now have to pay millions and millions over and above your budget for what the feds would have given you with the grant, to do your necessary repairs and upkeep on what you have now. In addition to the extra.
Guess Walkers budget is no longer balanced.

So you believe in taking $ for something that is not necessary and that will continue to cost the tax payers $, etc. after the funding runs out just because the federal government is willing to give WI some $ for to initially fund a portion of the project? Also you failed to mention that the majority of Wisconsinites did not want it.
You need to listen more to your democratic friend Steve Wynn.
