Here is the link to the story that ran in Sunday the 6th's Post and Courier online. Enjoy the comments from the "real" public. I really want to comment but it's proabably not worth it. I am all for this train line (most of which is existing freight line). I am really for it over the proposed I-526 expansion or any additional lanes on I-26. Here's the discussion point.... What can we do as planners and public advocates to counter the paper thin arguments of right wing extremests and how, if any way, could we provide intelligent discussion that cannot be poked full of holes?

It wasn't on the scale of losing M-16 assault rifles or accidentally arming a B-52 bomber with six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, but the news that Hill Air Force Base lost control of its Mass-Transit and van-pool system still is disturbing. ...

My Daddy used to say: 'If you can't afford the gas, you can't afford the car.' Those words still ring true. If you can't afford the gas, park it, sell it, buy a Bus Pass, Carpool, downsize vehicles, whatever it takes. $2 a gallon gas is gone, maybe forever.

The damning truth, which he pulls from a peice by Sam Staley is that Only about one third of Transit’s revenues come from customer fares. The remainder comes from taxes and federal grants [...] ...
