“Today, Wisconsin moved one step closer to building a 21st century transportation system.”
“There is enormous demand for high-speed passenger rail, both nationwide and here in Wisconsin, where a new manufacturing facility will be located. WISPIRG applauds Congressman Obey, chairman of the committee, for responding to that demand and navigating this historic investment in high-speed passenger rail through the appropriations committee.”
“These investments will not only modernize our transportation system, they will also help to grow Wisconsin’s economy, putting more Wisconsinites to work.”
