Dear Mr. Navecky, the GLBT needs to revoke any proposal and the STB needs to reject any proposal or application! It is being revealed that procedures are not being followed in this process. The first thing I ask is how can the EIS be started and in progress before a formal application has been submitted?? Frank Patton is full of lies and is interested only in his own greed. Frank Patton has refused to submit an application, which should not surprise anyone as he constantly changes the GLBT narrative. Is it privately or publicly funded. Will there be quiet zones" or not? Does he have "nondisclosure agreements" with any railroad? Where is he going to get 25% of Chicago freight from? Who are the silent partners/backers? Are oil interests involved? Are other railroads involved? We demand that the approval process is stopped until Frank Patton submits an application and certifies the representations he is making. Even if this were a viable proposal, THOU SHALL NOT STEAL! IN NO WAY SHOULD CITIZENS FEAR BEING FORCED OFF THEIR LAND BY ANY PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENT BODY NO MATTER WHO IT BENEFITS! WE RIGHTFULLY OWN OUR LAND AND PAY PROPERTY TAXES. THIS IS UNJUST AND UN-AMERICAN AND IS EMINENT DOMAIN ABUSE!!! Thank you!"
