There is a bit more to this story than what you read. Harry Reid want to build a high speed railroad from LA to Los Vegas. The congressman from Arizona kind of "manipulated the facts a bit". I can't believe our legislators would do that(!!!). Anyway, I agree with Tom. It does sound like an April Fools prank. Politicians are, if nothing else, entertaining.
