"Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood sent the White House a "comprehensive memo" with recommendations on how to jump-start high-speed rail service nationally, he told reporters yesterday. The memo identified several potential high-speed rail corridors in the country and addressed potential means of paying for a system. LaHood said President Obama wants to make high-speed rail a signature achievement of his presidency."
That's some damn good news, I sure hope it happens and he really pushes for it. I'm still shocked to hear things like this coming out of the White House after eight years of crap.
