While I am crushed and furious that our governor-elect has killed the project here in Wisconsin, I am glad that the administration and Sec LaHood didn't allow Walker to get away with moving the money to roads, freight lines, or a line that bypassed our second largest city, as he requested. I was still holding out hope that Walker would come to his senses, but I guess that is not to be. This decision will haunt him, and that state of Wisconsin for many years to come. Now I can only hope that the new federal transportation bill will invest in further rail, transit, and other alternatives to driving personal motor vehicles. Yeah, I know that's a long shot, but we can still hope.
