But in the end, the vote wasn’t even close: 31-19, with 21 Republicans joining all 10 Democrats in opposition. In fact, more GOP Hoosiers voted against the measure than for it.

Because semis put a ton of wear and tear on roads and Indiana is a huge bottleneck between the Northeast and the North/Northwest.
If only there were a better way to move freight from one dedicated location to another dedicated location. If we could basically teleport goods between Chicago, Atlanta, Kansas City, and Dallas, THEN we’d be able to have semis (or even smaller trucks) only handle the more local portions, and we’d save easily billions on road maintenance.
If only someone could invent a system where huge amounts of freight could be moved on something more durable than pavement. We can only dream of such technology of course.
But we need to remove the rail lines for walkways across the state…. Who needs trains?
