Louisiana to seek "wasteful spending" for NOLA-BR high-speed rail

This has been debated before, particularly after Katrina. Now, I don't have a link handy, but I do recall a few of the details from the last pass. Stops included: Downtown BR, Mall of LA, Ascension(?), MSY, Downtown NO. The biggest obstacle to getting this to happen was Baton Rouge's airport. They were afraid that this line would seriously cut into their usage.
