End to Amtrak funding unpopular:
Wisconsin’s top transportation official Monday blasted President Bush’s budget proposal to eliminate all federal funding for Amtrak.
“I think it stinks,” state Transportation Secretary Frank Busalacchi said.
Who joins this apparatchik in bemoaning the loss of federal funding for a railway used by a few but employing many?
Similar comments came from Amtrak management, the National Association of Railroad Passengers and the United Transportation Union, which represents Amtrak conductors.
Oh, yeah, the cool kids.
A more accurate headline more likely would have been End to Amtrak funding met with general apathy by majority, but that hardly tells Journal-Sentinel readers what to think, ainna?
