I had read that Mr. Frank Patton has a dream to build a railroad through Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin to leave a legacy for his children and grandchildren. I think that's very admirable of him to want to express his love of his family in such a grand way. The problem with his dream is that it would destroy the dreams and legacies of all those who own property, businesses and farms along the route of his railroad. This proposed railroad would be within one half mile of my home, and according to Bonnie Moore with Gambino Realty, the value of my house has already declined with the possibility of this railroad being built. If the railroad is built, the value of my home will decline even more, so my dream of leaving a legacy for my children and grandchildren would be destroyed by the utmost act of greed. NO BUILD!!!!
