Statement on Announcement that Wisconsin's High Speed Rail Money Will Go, Instead, to Other States

Statement

Date: Dec. 9, 2010
Issues: Transportation Employment and Affirmative Action

"This is a terribly sad day for Wisconsin. By pledging to stop the high speed rail project in our state, Governor-elect Walker is denying jobs to Wisconsinites when they are desperately needed and sending the message that Wisconsin is not open to innovation, new business, and the economic development we need to grow and thrive in the 21st Century. We are witnessing the ugly triumph of politics over progress and the people of Wisconsin will suffer the consequences for decades to come."
