but Barbara Boxer certainly is happy her state of Calfornia will benifit from Kasish's mistake.
It's time for the people in Ohio to call these wako republicans out on this daily!

1. Florida will follow in Ohio's footsteps...
Our Dark Lord Governor Voldemort is determined to not spend a dime on the rail projects, which will only result in forfeiture.

Kasich is more poison to Ohio. Where are the jobs???? Going to less needy states.

4. We share your pain in Wisconsin
Our new idiot governor also gave back the train money and lost all those jobs that would have been created.

3. It's a shame. Florida's been talking about high-speed rail for decades.
Especially, connecting South Florida up to Orlando.

It would be good for Florida, & good for tourism.

5. mass transit is not a bad idea
it would seem to be an 'economies of scale' concept. If enough people use it, rail will become more economical and profitable. It could not possibly be any more wasteful from an energy-usage standpoint, compared to individual car rentals and private vehicles criss-crossing the state.
