Are the benefits really worth the cost of developing a high speed system? I'll let others be the judge of that!

Well said. I am not a fan of the governor - but I think he is right on this one. Just got back from Dallas, where a monorail to connect the nearby suburbs sits unfinished. And who from Connecticut can forget "Tommy's Trolley"?

This is basically another bridge to nowhere - and I applaud the governor for turning it down....
