No. 7 -- VIRGINIA AND TRUCKEE RAILWAY -- Nevada Railroad Reconstruction Chronicles

Here's a suggestion of a short question you can send to Harry Reid, Dean Heller, John Ensign and the various state officials who represent you:

Why is the V&T Reconstruction project getting $3 million of ARRA funds from the State Transportation Board while the 395 extension goes unfunded? I have many complaints about this process, and the V&T project is going to hire out of state workers to build the track. Why are highway funds going to a project that is clearly not related to transportation? Since this won't come close to finishing the railroad, why is this a higher priority than completing 395? Since this is supposedly Nevada's first stimulus project to be bid out, this will get attention, for better or for worse!
