So the Governor wants to build a Boston

to Fall River-New Bedford rail link?
This is a good idea, opening up commuter resources could bring new housing to bear in the Commonwealth...raise incomes...generate new revenue for the state...a host of good things.
Moreover, cheap reliable rail travel is the dream of even the dumbest troglodyte columnist here in the over-compressed north east.
BUT....
This sensible notion is top of the twenty billion vigorish we need for the wear and tear on our current transportation resources over the next two decades, without mentioning the MBTA's current cash strapped condition.
Again I plaintively wail all and sundry are good ideas or even desperate necessities...but where will the money come from?
Where??
