Balanced - Another Intermodal Viewpoint

Many people in Union Mills are deeply troubled by the impact of the supersized trainyard that is bearing down full speed on rural LaPorte County.  They also understand that the LaPorte County Intermodal Task Farce is primarily a political manipulation designed to give cover to some politicians in the upcoming election.  While attempting to maintain an “unbiased” appearance, there is little doubt that the makeup of the Task Farce is carefully designed to allow it to serve as the head cheerleader and chief propagandist for at-any-cost “economic development.”

Unfortunately, some of the local media reports about the recent trip to Elwood also seemed to be pretty heavily biased in favor of  the intermodal development.  But some others who were also on the trip took off the rose-colored glasses for a better view of the proposed development.   Kathy Malstaff-Brew was a participant on the February 20th Intermodal Task Force trip to Elwood.  She has written her viewpoint of the Task Force Trip that I think is well worth a read - Brews Views
