[Grant Park] Mr. Patton is quoted as wanting to create a legacy for his grandchildren. REALLY???? What about the hundreds of legacy that will be destroyed by this debacle called a railroad/railroad terminal. The farms that will be split up or even destroyed. Many family farms will be there no longer. Is that really the price that must be paid for progress?? Money is the root of all evil and that is certainly the case for Mr. Patton and his investors. He will be getting rich off other people's pain and loss.
