    Hey bobby,

    I think the initial cost of scrapping this boondoggle would pale in comparison to the eternal outlay of funds it would take to maintain and run this thing.

    Last wkend we were in Mad and stayed in a huge new hotel off the beltline.
    Problem is that it's built on a dead end frontage road.
    Built on a promise and the expectation that massive developement would soon ensue.
    Along come high speed rail proposals....and all blding prmts are denied by gvt.
    So there it sits empty, and soon the rail was to wizz past nonstop as the hotel crumbles.

    With the demise of this rail system, the hope and possibility is that blding permits will now be issued, not only making this hotel viable, running, but growing busns and empl't in that area.
    There are plenty of long-standing ancillary estabs which would benifit from this as well.

    I have a feeling that the rail between Mad and Mil would destroy many more jobs than the proponants of the rail could ever claim to create.

    Also, because of us taking Fed $, we would be even more beholden to the Feds and their insidious mandates and demands.
    In short.
    Let it go.
    It would be sad to watch all the good $ being thrown after bad, not to mention all the other ruinous unintended consequences inherant in any Govt project.

    Commuter rail is ridiculous. The High-Speed rail line between Madison & Milwaukee is ridiculous. But I can guarantee that it would end up costing way more to cancel this thing than to keep going.

    Really?
    You are curious about what I think about the rail line?
    Well, you and Vicki both.
    I think all Feds should butt out.
    As far as the commuter rail?
    What do you think?

    Anyhowasasit...Hey!!!!!

    Hi
    This is following up earlier conversation we had, regarding opening a message forum system myself, focussed on people not in this forum and not connected with USA.

    I had received some helpful hints and offers from you.
    Meanwhile, I am testing a forum hosted elsewhere (not on my computer) : http://uttarayan.myfreeforum.org/index.php

    I would request you to check it out. It is in test mode and I am not certain I shall continue with it or try to create a better one.

    I have questions but do not have anyone that can answer them

    Appreciate if you can help.
    Thanks and best regards
    Tony Mitra
