I think Amtrak's on to something -- with Rauner out of the way, Illinois was now able to borrow billions to pay those "slow pay" bills and embark on more spending sprees... That means the debt hole for future generations is getting deeper.
Adding routes from MEM and BNA to CHI makes perfect sense -- it's pretty well documented that folks sick of high taxation are leaving the State of ILL in record numbers for places like Tennessee and Wisconsin that have more responsible fiscal and taxation policies. Some of them will still have family back in ILL so maybe it's smart to tap into that market...
