It seems that the legislature has at least one person in power that doesn't buy the hype about the south shore expansion and has had the project shelved, at least for now.
What does this mean to us? Well at first glance it means that cooler heads can take a look at the plan and the funding mechanisms involved to consider the effects on the region and the state.
On the other hand it allows the lords and ladies of the region to continue to work on getting their fingers in the pie making demands for their own feifdoms, regardless of merit, that may ultimately doom the project.
It will also allow the people of the region a chance to voice their opinion to the "talking heads" in the (probably vain) hope that we will be listened to.
If this is going to happen, we should demand that it be built with the most modern, flexible, system possible; not technoligically ancient systems prone to breakdown. What the heck am I talking about? What are called DMU railcars. For more information see Colorado Railcar's website.
We need forward thinking, not backward living.
