Jake formerly of the LP said...: This would have been part if the "Amtrak money", you dope. Passenger rail and freight rail frequently nude the same track, and both would have benefitted from the upgrades. And at a lower cost to Wisconsib taxpayer.

People like you and Scott Walker are too simple-minded to be in charge of things. And we all are paying the price for your foolishness.; December 15, 2014 at 8:54 PM
