If there was money to be made in building rail connections between Wilmington and outlying cities, it would already be in construction using private dollars. These connections to Raleigh and Charleston would prove to be bottomless wells of red ink for the taxpayers much like Amtrak and every urban/suburban light rail project nationally.

How many people do you know who had to travel to Charleston today?

Rest assured that these people like Meeks and Padgett, who think "transportation" is your most pressing need, will be wanting to raise your taxes to fund WAVE and their other idiotic ventures.
