Well, the previous legislature, and the legislatures of multiple other states, reviewed the same data and saw that they would be getting upgrades to their current train system, and an additional expanded system, interconnecting their points of business with other points of business, and were very excited as they all judged it profitable for decades down the road.

Your previous legislature wanted it. Walker didn't. Gave it up.

But then, strangely, Walker immediately tried to get those funds back.

So are you angry or disappointed at Walker seeking the very federal funds he turned down, and promised not to take, or not?
