[QUOTE]Originally posted by sfthunderchief: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [qb] 1QCY10. As I've kept saying ... the long pole in your tent will be the Kansas House and Governor Parkinson. Given the current state of income to the Kansas Treasury, 8it's going to be tough to get any new spending through this year. I have to ask ... does it make political sense to defer a year, anticipating economy will turn, and attack on an upbeat note? [/qb][/QUOTE]I understand that there is no intent to put any money into the bill. The congressional leaders propose making it a framework and authorization for a passenger rail program, permitting the State to enter into a contract with Amtrak, applying for HSR status, establishing a rail fund based on the Iowa model. Once in place, a funding mechanism will be explored adjusted to the contractual projections established by the feasibility study and the return on investment study. [/QB][/QUOTE]
