Posted by kp5308 on Fri Mar 16 16:57:07 2012, in response to Re: Romney: ''I'd Get Rid Of Amtrak Subsidy'', posted by WillD on Fri Mar 16 01:31:30 2012. Two ::ahem:: Republican governors just happened to kill it and then try to apply the funds from those projects to their highway departments.Uhhh....their electorate supported the move. Personally I think it would have been helpful but another issue was the strings attached to the money. Tough call. Takes guts to make it either way. That mostly depends on the outcome of the next election. If the Republicans hold their congressional majority then it'll be 1992 again and we'll kick the high speed rail can another 20 years off into the future. If the Democrats win then it's not exactly certain that HSR will enjoy the widespread notoriety it had three years ago, but the chances are certainly much better for California's project to receive the funding it needs to provide a useful LA-SF service. HSR has been mortally damaged here because of the way the Administration (& CAHSRA) handled this. All show & no go & really this was soooo easy to predict. And remember the Administration cut HSR funding when the Dems controlled it all because they really don't care. Do I have to post links to the truth on this? |
