Cross Thinks Metra Fiasco Will Stall The Oswego Metra Train

I hope that it not only stalls it but also permanently deep sixes it.

The Ledger Sentinel reported this last week: http://www.ledgersentinel.com/article.asp?a=11303

Has Tom Cross seen any unbiased survey results or referendum results where a majority of Kendall County voters want Metra here and are willing to pay a higher 1% Sales Tax and higher Proper Taxes to get it? No!

Does he think that the Bankrupt State of Illinois and Illinois Taxpayers would support such a move? NO!
Does he think his House Democratic Colleague - Mike Madigan will support it? NO!

Does he expect his friend Dennis Hastert to get re elected to the US House and come up with Fed Funds? NO! Does he think that Congressman Randy Hultgren will help get the funds so some rich landowners in a secret trust on the North Side of the BNSF can gain windfall profits at taxpayer expenses?
