No. 1 -- VIRGINIA AND TRUCKEE RAILWAY -- Nevada Railroad Reconstruction Chronicles
This is the new place for analysis of the Virginia & Truckee Reconstruction Project Biased Analysis and Criticism.
I will then move on to explain how porkulus (stimulus / ARRA) funding meant for highway projects is being diverted to this unfinished tourist railroad in Northern Nevada.
At a meeting yesterday, Janice Ayres (former Carson City Supervisor, former V&T Re-con Commissioner/Chair, and currently president of the Norther Nevada Railway Foundation) complained about "all the people who don't want to see the railroad built."
This really shows the unfair cast of her mind. She sees any criticism of a government process gone bad and a desire to kill the project. What she and others don't seem to understand is that people like me want to see the railroad built, we just don't think they behave well as a government body. More on this later... for now if you go to the RenoRailfans website you can see much of my 2008 coverage, including my meeting notes for 2008 meetings.

Given the success of the show Parks and Recreation, it might be possible to use the minutes of the commission to create their own TV show to help pay for the reconstruction, as I believe that no Hollywood writer could come with anything as hilarious as this group appears to do FOR REAL. And it would save a ton of money in writers fees. If this is our government in action, may God help us all!!!
