[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] Yes, it's only the first round, but the biggest first round: There's $2B this FY in the hopper, and VP Biden proposed $1B a year through the five year budget cycle. That means the next grant app has to rise like cream through the competing demands, and basically sell itself for funding. As I've said before, concentrate not on the Senate, but on the House. The Senate is safe. The KS House is the point of risk. They did not even want to play last year. At least this year you did not wait to the last day to get legislation in play. That's a useful step. You're also working to join the Midwest network. That's a useful step. 2015 though, is now my reasonable expectation for a start date. The sooner Kansas can buy equipment, even if it sits in covered storage in BNSF Topeka shops awaiting rebuild, the sooner a service start date can happen. [/QB][/QUOTE]
