you said they should have used a small fraction (24mil) of the federal stimulus funds (810million) to pay for the upgrade.


I would rather a state come up with ways to fund 24 million than take 810 million from taxpayers wallets.

or in government terms:

all 50 states would pay 1.2 billion to upgrade existing trains

compared to

the government giving all 50 states 40.5 billion to build new trains.
