High-Speed Rail Advocates Clueless

They want taxpayers to sink billions of dollars into transportation options people won’t use.

(By Michael Lowrey, Carolina Journal Online) - At $2.3 billion, faster Raleigh-Richmond rail service is a poor use of public money. There simply are many other transportation projects that would produce a much greater bang for that sort of buck. As long as those overseeing transportation policy don’t know what they’re talking about, it will continue to be unlikely that the public’s money will be well-spent. Garbage in, garbage out.
