Intermodal Opponents Blasted By NWI Times As Being Hysterical, Misguided

The Northwest Indiana Times blasts opponents of a proposed intermodal rail to truck facility proposed for LaPorte County in the newspaper's editorial today.

Opposition to new transportation ideas -- and the many high-paying jobs the intermodal facility would bring -- is misguided.

The opponents should wait until the plan is outlined before weighing the pros and cons and reaching a reasonable conclusion.

Until then, they are operating strictly on hysterics, not facts.

Former Democratic Governor Joe Kernan has been tapped as a consultant for the proposed Norfolk Southern facility in Union Mills, Indiana.

It should be an interesting battle to watch.
