Why do I get a feeling this is going to end in some sort of lawsuit?
For what it's worth (and for some humor), when I read the bit about the negotiations being terminated, I misread it as "did not comment on why Wingfield was terminated" (as if INDOT had also gone on a firing spree over this). Someone really should lose their job over botching this...it's been spectacular. My guess is that Amtrak's contract will get another re-extension, followed by some form of transfer (maybe Iowa Pacific will come back into the picture?).
