Born and raised in TN. Graduated college and grad school in Memphis (Go Tigers!). Live in CA and work in Chicago now. I speak with inside and outside experience.
TN borders more states than any other state in the Union (8). Every state bordering TN is on track to receive a share of the $8 billion stimulus allocated to high speed rail. Tennessee is not on the map!
Instead of turning money away, Bredesen and those Blue Dog Democrats like Cohen, Cooper and Tanner who voted against The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 need to be pressing for rail funds that connect to the planned rail corridors and to the key cities of Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Jackson, Dyersburg, Bristol/Johnson City.
Perdue, Bredesen may reject jobless stimulus funding
