Wisc DOT needs to update its high-speed intercity passenger rail web site

Yyyeah. At the moment, it says: Wisconsin high-speed intercity passenger rail Project overview The development of high-speed intercity passenger rail in the Midwest is part of the proposed Midwest Regional Rail Corridor, a 3,000-mile Midwest passenger rail network radiating from Chicago and serving nine states.

This is vat once stunning and totally believable: when inter-city rail was proposed by Tommy Thompson, Scott Walker voted for it –twice.

Walker to laid-off county workers: Ha ha, just kidding!

Yeah, about those layoffs I just gave you… just kidding! Hope that wasn’t too hard on you or your family. Stay classy, Scott! This is likely how we would run Wisconsin state government as well. Tthe governor effects the whole state, not just its most populated corner, so the effect of doing this sort of
