There was. But they didn't get the $$$.

there's nothing about the ohio plan that says it will only be 79 mph. everything I see says they're planning for 110 - 220 mph but with limited money and no established ridership you have to start somewhere.

Cleveland and Cincy both need commuter systems. Ohio has a lot of tracks and almost certainly a lot of unused ROW as well.
Agreed completely, but then again we do need the $$$. So this $400 million is certainly a start.
