Great news!!! The new Republican Guvs of Ohio and Wisconsin have made it clear--no high speed choo-choo train to waste money for their States.
"Last week, just days after Republican Scott Walker won election to succeed Democratic Governor Jim Doyle in Wisconsin, Doyle's administration told contractors on one of the projects, a proposed line between Madison and Milwaukee, to temporarily stop working, citing Walker's victory, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. In his successful campaign, Walker ran on a vow to end the project, which he considers a waste of money.
In Ohio, Republican governor-elect John Kasich is calling on Democrat Ted Strickland — whom he defeated on Tuesday (November 2) —to promptly cancel a pair of studies on a proposed rail line connecting Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus. "Given that the train is dead under John, no additional state or taxpayer dollars should be spent on this project," a spokesman for Kasich told The Columbus Dispatch."
The bad news is that this means the Feds will have more money to force on the Democrats and unions of California.
This is why we need a real Republican as Governor of California. Sadly, we will have to count on the GOP controlled Congress to close off all this money.
Please ask your California Republican delegation to cut spending on these wasteful projects.
