The Powerful Dells Lobby

Most likely, any new high (or just higher) speed rail will pass through the town of Wisconsin Dells. This city would look to gain more tourism if a train system were to stop there. The most likely rail line would have Chicago on one end and Minneapolis on the other. These cities are great areas to draw tourists from. I believe the Dells would see their businesses grow significantly if they were connected to a new rail network.
Now to the Lobby. When I was in elementary school, the Dells were able to lobby the Wisconsin government to pass a law requiring public schools to start after the labor day weekend, allowing for more people to make a last summer trip to the Dells.

If the Dells lobby can do this, just think what they can do if they get behind high speed rail.
