[Monroe Center] Dear Mr. Navecky, I am a resident of Ogle County, Illinois. My home is in the path of the GLB Railroad. Our two generation farm and the farmland that I will inherit some day is in harms way. We live on a rural country road and it is likely we will have to travel many times a day across unmarked or ungaited tracks. This is a significant danger to all of those who travel, school buses, and farm machine. We have two gravel roads we use regularly that could be closed. This would force more farm machinery to use more major highways. Also the concern of flooding and water drainage issues is a large concern. Please vote NO to the GLB on May 16th. The CREATE program has already dumped 3 billion dollars of tax pay money into cleaning up this problem. It sounds like many improvements have already been made. Thanks, Brian R. Hall
