Except that in this case the general public seems to be siding with keeping the railroad in place. At the very least its a 50-50 thing, and BOTH side could get what they want, but the local governments don't seem willing to even DISCUSS the idea. This is the typical government move of drawing the conclusion and then molding the evidence to fit the conclusion. In Fort Wayne, they just keep hiring consultants until they get one that gives them the answer they want, and then they run out and either say, "hey, look at this great idea" as if it had never occurred to them, OR they run out and say "see we told you so, this consultant says we're right!" As much as I would like to see the riverfront development in Fort Wayne, and by extension, Headwaters Junction, I'm already getting a little disgusted with the way this thing is getting strong armed through the process, and any dissent be ****ed..... Neither the Richard or the Henry administration have/had much use for opinions that differ from theirs.
