Illinois state government officials are stepping up to say they will accept Wisconsin's $810 million in federal funds for high-speed rail if Wisconsin Gov.-elect Scott Walker does not want them, as well as the jobs to manufacture the trains.
"We'd love to have it," said Illinois Transportation Secretary Gary Hannig told the Chicago Sun Times.
Hannig said Illinois, which has already received $1.2 billion in high-speed rail funding, could spend Wisconsin's money making additional improvements to the Chicago-St. Louis corridor to add more passenger runs.|
The additional money also could be used to build stations in Joliet and Rockford, Hannig said.
Walker, a Republican, has vowed to reject $810 million in federal high-speed rail money. Walker said he objected to the state having to pay up to $7.5 million per year in ongoing operational costs for the train.
Illinois State Sen. Jeffrey Schoenberg (D-Evanston) said he would work with other lawmakers to persuade the U.S. Department of Transportation to transfer the federal money that had been approved for Wisconsin to Illinois. Schoenberg also would like to see Spanish trainmaker Talgo Inc. move to Illinois from Milwaukee. Talgo has said it cannot promise to stay in Milwaukee if the state rejects the rail project.
"If the new governor of Wisconsin is overwhelmed by $800 million of federal funds, we'd be happy to take that burden off his back," Schoenberg told the Sun Times.
Last week, Democratic Gov.-elect Andrew Cuomo in New York sent the U.S. DOT a letter saying his state would take the money if Wisconsin rejects it.
Walker today sent a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, reiterating his opposition to high-speed rail.
"I strongly encourage the federal government to halt all investments in new passenger rail lines and instead devote this funding to state and local road projects," Walker wrote.
