"Conveniently" released to the media during the Holiday weekend, as well as during the 'all Michael all the time" deluge, is that Michigan is proposing "cuts' with nature and scope not specifically identified to the State funded Chicago-Port Huron Blue Water and Chicago-Grand Rapids Pere Marquette trains. The 'three a day' Chicago-Detroit-Pontiac Wolverines are 100% Federally funded and not affected.
This was inevitable; Michigan is "broke": on that same note, I am astounded that there have been no other service cuts proposed in "nearly as broke' California and Illinois.
