for the past 4 years in my memory, and 25 or so in the collective memory, they've been trying to get this train thing off the ground. it's such a brilliant idea! why can't they just say "ok, there's an economic crisis in pennsylvania that could really be helped by our doing this, and it would improve the interstates and pollution and all kinds of wonderful stuff, let's do it!"? i think that they should say that.
and forget the 5 million to check if it's a good idea. IT'S A GOOD IDEA! put that 5 million towards the 200 we're gonna need in total. please, i'm begging you.
especially with the economic drain of sister adrian barrett's brilliant "move the welfare folk out of NYC and into scranton" plan. we're dying here. we're going under for the last time. this beautiful city that i grew up in, with rolling hills, safe streets, good jobs, and an incredibly caring community is about to disappear. this train would be a lifeline for us.
