Trains vs. MARTA

I actually enjoy reading through the state budget, especially it's earmarks. I didn't find any money on the scale of a "Bridge to Nowhere", but they do add up:

Page 273, Georgia Budget FY2009 - "Warren County - Build a train garden outside the ... depot - $25,000"

To be fair, I don't know if the emphasis for this welcoming center project is on the "train" or the "garden".

Toy Train - $25,000
MARTA - $0

Atlantans reimbursed if this earmark is canceled - 50
