As a school board member, I know all to well about the money being stuck in pockets thing--pretty common. FYI, TVW is Washington's version of C-span---they carried a joint WA OR meeting on high speed rail issues. Whitman County Gazette has carried several stories on the line being converted to a trail---most recently two weeks ago. Both the Gazette and the Spokesman Review carried stories about WSDOT losing interest in the lines and possibly shutting them down or selling them---only the pending dam shutdown put that idea on the back burner. Most all of this has been discussed on this list.
