I heard on the way into work this morning that our <Sarcasm On> Hard Working, Dedicated <Sarcasm Off> State Legislatures failed to pass the matching funds for the $180 Million fed loans that was supposed to be used for the rail line between here and Chicago. Does anyone have more info about this and if it is still salvageable by the newly-elected, incoming legislatures?

According to the report, Mike Bishop was working hard to get it passed but for whatever reason it never made it to the floor for a vote.
