No money for potholes or bridges but plenty for empty choo choo trains-----Michigan may temporarily suspend lease on unused rail cars for Ann Arbor-Detroit line

Michigan may temporarily suspend lease on unused rail cars for Ann Arbor-Detroit line - Crain's Detroit Business:
"LANSING — A Michigan state agency said Monday it is negotiating to temporarily suspend the lease on 23 commuter rail cars that have sat unused and cost the state $11.4 million.
Michigan Transportation Department Rail Director Tim Hoeffner told reporters in a conference call that negotiations are ongoing with Great Lakes Central Railroad, the company from which the state is leasing the cars.
Hoeffner said the company is willing to relieve the department of lease payments for up to five years so the company can sublease the cars to another rail project."
