M-DOT employee says less ridership on the Bluewater

I was informed that a Michigan Department of Transportation employee came into the East Lansing Station and told the Amtrak Ticket Agent that the Bluewater will have less ridership then the International train.This M-DOT employee was the one that wanted the Bluewater instead of the International this is not good for the fact that less ridership means it will be hard to get State Funding for the 2 State supported trains for FY 2005 which starts Oct 1 2004.If you want the 2 State supported trains to run in 2005 you must act now or it will be to late and we could loose our trains.
