Schaefer Upset That Money Allocated for Rail Projects is Being Spent on Rail Projects

Sen. Kurt Schaefer (R-Columbia) is unhappy that federal Recovery Act money awarded to the state for improvements to the rail corridor between Kansas City and St. Louis is being spent on improvements to the rail corridor between Kansas City and St. Louis. According to this article in the Missourian, Schaefer would rather spend the money on the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center. 

While it would be great if the state were flush with cash and could fund everything Schaefer wanted, he doesn't seem to have a plan yet for how the state should lie to the federal government and funnel $23 million in transportation money to a hospital in his district.
