Are you happy that governor-elect John Kasich is pulling the plug on high-speed passenger rail in Ohio?
Ohio governor-elect John Kasich is pulling the plug on high-speed passenger rail in Ohio. Are you happy about that?
BARB LAURASH, Sugarcreek Twp.: “Yes and no. It’s a good idea to have high-speed passenger trains in Ohio, but I think it should be done by the private sector. I’d love to be able to get on a train and go to Cleveland.”
RIC SMITH, Dayton: “No. I thought it was a good idea to be able to travel high-speed rail around the state to see relatives and friends. I would think it would create jobs, too.”
HANS UELTSCHI, Anderson Twp.: “No. I think he doesn’t understand that, economically, the state would be missing out on a potential way to grow future businesses.”
ANGELA HALL, Kettering: “I like trains. I think they could utilize trains more than they do.”
ROBERTA CRAWFORD, Greenville: “No. I just think that the trains would pull Ohio together better and increase the commerce and jobs.”
CARL HEUTHER, Cincinnati: “I think high-speed passenger rail is a good idea. I was in Chicago all weekend, and their passenger rail is so good and so effective. They can get anywhere for very little money. Same thing in Atlanta.”
