Judged:

First off there is no reason to spend one thin dime of taxpayer money on high speed rail. If the companies and people demanding it can raise their own private funding then go get them. But, the last thing we need in PA is to waste taxpayers money on projects that can never make it without annual revenue pumped in from taxpayers. Make it on your own or stay out of the business.

America needs more commuter railways. Highspeed or not. You can go almost anywhere in Japan by rail.No need to even own a car there. We are behind the times.
