Train Station

Why do you think the Department of Transportation will not support a train stop in Oconomowoc? Is there more to the story than the new Mayor raising questions? How did city officials arrive at a $30 million figure to build a rail station? The state was willing to pay $5 million. Why would a building to hold waiting passangers in a small town cost $30 million? Why does every discussion about downtown development in Oconomowoc concern parking? Do you have trouble finding parking?

If you are the Mayor and own two taverns near the historic train station wouldn't you support a train stop across from one of your taverns?
