Oh Eraser, you have one last chance at redemption for you and the Northeast.

Just bring it to a freakin' vote.

What the whole bill you mean?

Is there a certain reason why Milwaukee is not listed on Mideast "hubs"?  It has a higher population than Cleveland, Richmond, Wheeling, Nyman (If we're going off D.C. population) and St. Louis.

[Ban my account ffs!]

No worries, Tmth.. I plan to introduce significant passenger rail legislation.  The cities mentioned in the stimulus bills are meant to construct hubs.  Milwaukee already has rail connections to Chicago and the Twin Cities.  Eventually, a high speed connection will be built from Chicago to the Twin Cities via Milwaukee, Madison, and Rochester, MN.  But as of now, Milwaukee already has frequent train service to Chicago where they can connect to other cities to the southwest, south, and east.

In the grand scheme of things, Milwaukee would serve as a regional rail hub for regional express trains (traveling up to 125mph) to other cities like Green Bay, the Fox Valley, Duluth, and the UP of Michigan.

Gotcha, was hoping you'd be able to clarify since you live up in that direction. Thanks Snowy.

2.   $3 billion for track upgrades.

Credit to sbane for some helpful suggestions since I really haven't been following this (surprise surprise!).

Would these be specifically for your region or for Atlasia at large?

For the Northeast. This is utilizing the $10 Billion dollars meant for our region.

My region.

I am going to pretend you actually offered that as an official amendment (to save time ). The amendment is accepted by the sponsor as friendly and Senators have 24 hours to object to its adoption.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Neglecting Raleigh, NC, are we Yank? How shocking! Surely you think it's an important enough hub for a rail line!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The amendment has passed.

Lets be serious here. Its only a few hundred million for each region. The more cities, the less each will get. Unless you want each region to only get two ties and a shack, you might want to call it quits till we can address the issue in a stand alone bill.


If no one objects, I plan to open a final vote tomorrow morning.

I hear angels singing.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This bill is now at final vote, Senators please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

You sure that isn't the tail end of "You can't always get what you want"?
