New route for commuter rail

The last time Milwaukee wanted to do this, I brought up the point that we could add this project to many other projects that are not necessary.

Other projects that cost tax payers ALOT of money and are not worth it:
Midwest Express Center
The Milwaukee Theatre
The Deep Tunnel
The New Aquarium
and now...commuter rail

The people sending the proposal do not even pretend that the rail can pay for itself:

Operating costs would run $14.7 million a year, with fares covering $3.8 million. The Virchow Krause & Co. consulting firm is studying nearly 20 options to pick up the remaining $10.9 million, ranging from sales, gas and property taxes to tax-incremental financing districts that would use tax growth from rising property values near stations.

Here comes another project that will cost the tax payers money not only now, but for many, many years to come.
