Bob Harlow: Build 200 mile-per-hour high-speed rail network in Wisconsin

Bob Harlow wants to bring a 200 mile-per-hour high-speed rail network to Wisconsin and pledges to undo Act 10, the 2011 law that stripped most public workers of their collective bargaining rights.

In 2010, Walker campaigned on canceling the high-speed rail plans of his predecessor, Democrat Jim Doyle. And, a few weeks after taking office in 2011, Walker proposed a budget repair bill that included the collective bargaining changes.

Bob Harlow: 1 Gb internet in every home, plus 200 mph high speed rail

Create 35,000 jobs through record investment in Wisconsin's infrastructure: My first priority is job-creating infrastructure investments that position Wisconsin to be the economic powerhouse of America's future. By bringing 1 Gb internet to every home, building 200 mph high speed rail that connects our region, modernizing our highways to be safer and more efficient, and by making Wisconsin 30% renewable by 2030, we will create 35,000 good paying jobs and boost economic growth in Wisconsin for decades.
