Rail Connection for Ohio Cities Gets Funded

Backers of a passenger train connecting Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati are beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel.

But some of Ohio's leaders think that dream will soon be a nightmare. Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles has both sides of the story.
