Are you going to hold your breath? Your previous legislature thought it would be a great thing for the state, as do all the other states that accepted it. Illinois sure jumped on taking the extra money Wisconsin turned down. Gov. Walker says no, and turned it down.

Guess you'll just have to wait 10 years to see the actual outcome.
The only teachers that lost their jobs were from MPS who ram rodded their contracts in before the bill passed and refused to reopen them. All of the districts that implemented Walkers reforms are seeing benefits and many are even seeing surplusses. Yes the poor teachers actually had to contribute a very small portion to their pension(which most people don't even have) and a small portion of their cadillac health insurance.

Please show me anything that stated that high speed rail would even be self sustainable. Do you know that the "L" in chicago which is highly used is not self sustainable?
