Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says he does not support providing state funding for a possible Amtrak expansion from Milwaukee to Madison. The City of Madison is seeking to get funding from the bipartisan infrastructure package passed by Congress last year. That plan includes a program to spend $66 billion over the next five years on passenger rail services and expansion. Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker rejected $810 million in federal funding for a high-speed rail line in 2011. A tweet from Walker Wednesday calls the passenger rail project “stupid”.
