Imagine that. The locals don’t like the idea of making Charlotte-Raleigh passenger rail service a little bit faster as it would close six rail crossings in the town, replacing them with three bridges. Residents feel that the move would cut their town effectively in two. Republican 8th Congressional District candidates agree:
Five Republican candidates running for North Carolina’s 8th Congressional District seat agreed on one issue during Tuesday’s debate: The high-speed rail scheduled to cut through Harrisburg should be derailed.
How is this possible in Barack Obama’s brave new world? And I wonder where that sort of Republicans are in other parts of the state sometimes.
