The party of "NO" strikes again.Barely two days after the elections, the Republican who is set to take over control of the House Transportation Committee has announced he's is taking a second look at the billions of dollars awarded to various high-speed rail projects around the country.
Representative John Mica (Florida) says he doesn't believe that Californians will use the service enough to offset the costs of building it. Instead, Mr. Mica believes that high-speed rail service projects should be built in more densely populated areas, such as the Northeast Corridor.
Um, I'm not sure if Representative Mica is aware of this, but the area he speaks about already HAS high-speed service, Amtrak's Acela.
(sigh)
