Dear Mr.. Navecky, There have been no answers given to letters written to the STB that I am aware of. Are these questions and concerns going to be answered? We all felt forced into fighting for our homes, farms and way of life since this preposterous proposal was exposed. What kind of burden is that to put on people? Make your comments and concerns known now to the STB while the GLB holds your fate in it's hands!" Are my concerns going to be stricken from the survey because they are not addressing the obvious environmental disasters this will cause? In the meantime, do you realize what an effect this is having, already to the residents that would be gravely impacted? The parents, school children, families, elderly, the homebound??? Do you realize that people are lying awake at night, worrying that this plan of destruction could come true?? Do you know what a strain this is causing to people? Do you know that in Sumner Township are home values have dropped already? But we still have to pay our rising real estate taxes!! Do you know what fear this is causing in people's lives?? I would like to ask the members of the STB how these threats would affect their daily lives if it were happening to them?? Thank you, Julie Kokos Sumner Township, Kankakee County IL 60901 708-426-4180"
