While federal money is pouring in thanks to infrastructure law, Ohio would have to shoulder long-term costs for routes that don’t break even. Supporters tout economic gains, especially for Columbus, while critics warn of unprofitable service and taxpayer burdens. Candidates are split: Libertarian Don Kissick opposes state funding, Republican Vivek Ramaswamy remains silent, and Amy Acton offers vague support for infrastructure modernization. The future of rail in Ohio? It’s all riding on who wins the next election. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
