JLF president John Hood weighs in on North Carolina’s proposed “not as slow speed rail,” for which the fed gov’t is kicking in $520 million.
Commander Hood concludes “if average taxpayers in North Carolinians ever get the straight story on what this is all about, they’ll run the politicians responsible out of town on a rail.” Good luck with getting the straight story, at least for those who rely on the state’s major newspapers, every one of which is simply in love the idea of more taxpayer-funded public transportation.
But stay tuned here and at other JLF sites, not to mention Antiplanner, aka Randall O’Toole, who does an excellent job of debunking the myth of high-speed rail.
