[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] Looking deeper, looks like $12.7M is the gross operating subsidy KS-OK (OK appears to underwrite from the Red River to Dallas). Of that, it looks like various Federal Acts in proposal or passage will allow up to $3M per year for KS, on a matching funds basis. That means KS has to pony up OTOO $3M per annum. There is still that pesky matter of the Kansas Constitution, Article 11, Section 9. The collective local wisdom is any expenditure for Amtrak requires a 2/3 majority separate Act. As I said earlier, that requires action in the 2010 legislative session at the earliest, with voter approval in Nov 2010, appropriations in the 2011 legislative session, and expenditures to begin no earlier than July 2011.
