Dear Vicki, I am emailing you on the no-build option for Great Lakes Basin Transportation. This proposed route of Frank Patton's travels LITERALLY through my family's back yard. We moved to the country for the quiet acreage. My parents built this home over 20 years ago. We have three young children and the thought of fast traveling trains, derailment, hazardous spills, and eminent domain of our property makes us all ill. We have worked our while life to be able to have our dream house and this man's greed could jeopardize that. There are wetlands and state landmarks in our area. My family, neighbors, basically everyone in the community are ill over this nightmare. I have been following Frank Patton's submissions, which the deadlines have been open-ended. My family, nor others feel we can move forward and rest assured until this application by Great Lake Basin Transportation is withdrawn. We are all hoping that you will see the many negatives of this proposed railway and that there is no need for it other than Mr Patton's greed. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Stephanie Thompson
