	JS Online: Budget pinch puts Hiawatha in peril
		Under a contract with the states, Amtrak has used its federal funding and fare revenue to cover the line's fixed costs, such as interest, depreciation and overhead, while the two states have divided the variable costs.
		Wisconsin transportation officials predict that the two states' combined share will rise 20%, as Amtrak pushes them to start paying part of the fixed costs as well as all of the variable costs,the fiscal bureau said in an analysis prepared for the budget panel.
		Besides, Harnish added, the Hiawatha has taken 10 years to recover from service cuts and fare increases in 1995, and "it would be really dumb" to do that again.

	The UWM Post - Amtrak would connect Madison, Milwaukee
		According to Randy Wade, Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) passenger rail manager, the cost of the rail, which would be an extension of Amtrak’s Hiawatha service between Milwaukee and Chicago, is now set at $316 million.
		An executive summary of the project, which can be viewed at dot.wisconsin.gov, states that another benefit of high-speed rail is that it minimizes the environmental impact of travel.
		However, he said it is relatively safe to assume that fare will be in the same range as Hiawatha’s current price of $21 for a one-way ticket to Chicago.
