Just in case you missed it, you can read it here. It was, of course, about the Kellar Branch. There have been several pro-trail letters to the editor lately, and I just couldn’t stand reading all the misinformation anymore. I hope my letter will cause some people to reevaluate their support for turning a viable rail line into a trail.
One interesting fact:Â the publishing of my letter is the first time the Journal Star has disclosed the amount of money Carver Lumber has lost (over $25,000) due to the city’s pursuit of this rails-to-trail debacle.
I just finished reading it. Nice work.
Also agreed with the Merle editorial.
Bravo!
Boy … someone who going to get in trouble for letting *that* information see print!
CJ, I don’t know if you heard 1470 this morning discussing the rails, but you should’ve been on instead. It was painful to listen to.
I heard it. I know both those guys and they’re both friends of mine. They’re both competent, knowledgeable, and concerned about the future of Peoria’s economy. But, unfortunately, those things just didn’t come across on the radio; I don’t know if they were nervous or what happened, but they just didn’t communicate their message very well. I hate to admit it, but I ended up turning it off before the interview was over.
