Walker announced Thursday afternoon that the State would award Waukesha-based Weldall Manufacturing a $650,000 grant through the State Department of Transportation to help cover half the cost of extending a rail line to its facility.You know who else loved free rail sidings? Ron Johnson is who.
Ron Johnson never complained about his free gummint rail spur.
So Tom, how long you going to be re-living the campaign?
ReplyDeleteSeriously thinking of calling you "Ahab" soon...
God willing, at least as long as Ron Johnson does. And believe me you have far more important things to think seriously about than that.

ReplyDeleteThis helps both business and labor but what gets me is when they approve a $64 million train in Milwaukee before they improve the roads that would help more people.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they could use some of the $600 million Walker is using to build a (most likely unneeded) bridge over the Mississippi to repair the roads Anonymous is complaining about.
ReplyDeleteIt's a streetcar, the $64M is mostly federal money, and downtown Milwaukee is in near-desperate need of a shot of adrenaline.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that Milwaukee got rid of them for the same reasons...
