What a deference a week makes, well, actually, not even a week. Our state dictator, Diamond Jim Doyle, after having over forty-five Wisconsin communities vote to not fund a sales tax to pay for a train that was being forced on them had his Secretary of Transportation release a statement to the effect of stating that no more money or time is to be spent on the train until further notice. This came on Friday. And these were communities that would have been "served" by this boondoggle. Then, as is Doyle's modus operandi, a weekend press release is delivered and he has relinquished is control over all the choo-choo decisions, after having approved, all on his own, the spending of $97million the state does not have. He is letting "the next gubernatorial administration" decide how to proceed with the project. Doyle has never made me happier than by handing this over to Governor-elect Walker who vowed to stop this project in its tracks (pun intended).
The voters spoke, loudly, and for once, a dictatorial government listened. God bless America!
