No, actually it's about Minneapolis to Chicago, and beyond that. It's a multi-state project. And I am amazed that you know the ticket prices before the project is even completed. Can you give me that link, please?

If the fed was going to pay for the costs of Milwaukee to Madison, what happens in a few years from now when they want to expand to minneappolis.
The above statement reveals much, so I can only assume you do not know as much as you think about the entire project and it's funding. But relax! It's done. You don't have to suffer being part of the multi-state high speed rail project. Worry about Walker being $24 million over budget, and increasing the cost by 50%, to try and maintain your antiquated train system, and how you're going to pay for it. Walker sought over $200 million in federal funds to fix up your current trains, but didn't get it. So I can only assume there is much that won't get updated on the old trains. Kind of sad.

And maybe find out how the legislators you love and support are trying to change your state Constitution behind the public's back.
