Jerome might be thinking of it from the standpoint of who has to pay for it.
What's the fare recovery cost projection? While I'd like to see the Cutoff
back in operation, I'm not willing to force people to pay for it who won't
ever use it or who will never see any tangible benefit from it. If I could
specify what my tax dollars went for then I might earmark a share for
rebuilding the Cutoff, but I wouldn't force Stanley Farmer from Watertown, NY
to do the same.

I have never been a big fan of train rider welfare.
