Foreign Investment In Illiana Toll Road Expressway Defended

George Mrak defends plans to allow foreign investment in the proposed Illiana Expressway Toll Road pointing to foreign ownership of various Northwest Indiana businesses, including Mittal Steel, BP Amoco, Westfield Shopping Town Southlake Mall, and the Indiana-American Water Company.

From Mrak's letter in the Chesterton Tribune:

All these businesses provide jobs and services for many Americans, even to you, your friends, and neighbors. Foreign investment in this country has a beneficial effect on our economy, and suggesting that it would be detrimental to the building and operation of a toll road is fear-mongering at its worst – look up xenophobia in the dictionary.
