Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail
The tax dollars already paid to house, feed and care for those people is the bigger insult. The few people in New Bedford and Fall River capable of finding Boston on a map can drive the 55 miles in their own car or take the train from Middleborough. If we're going to invest in regional high speed rail, it ought to serve cities where some semblance of a return on investment is likely such as Hartford, Montreal, Burlington and western Mass./Albany. In the end though this is just another political bone to keep the Bristol County dimwits in the bag for Deval Patrick. I don't think anybody's stupid enough to believe there's a need for this.
