“On February 27th, I was happy to stand in unity with this overwhelmingly bipartisan group of elected officials in opposition to the proposed changes in how the railroad operates throughout our region of the state and the 48th District. This merger will exaggerate the impacts that come from increased train traffic. Not only will there be increased vehicle traffic and decreases in home values, but an increased risk to public safety. More trains running through our communities will threaten emergency response times for police, fire, and paramedics.”
– State Representative Jennifer Sanalitro
