For all of my life there has been the continual drumbeat that government should not do what private industry is capable of doing for ‘less money’.
Which is why the news about Wisconsin buying 70 miles of rail line for $30 million, with the total support and blessing of Walker, seems so interesting to me. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation signed an agreement to buy the line, from Reedsburg to Madison and from Madison to Cottage Grove, from the Union Pacific Railroad.
