Well if S.C. Johnson CLAIMS THEY NEED COMMUTER RAIL, then by all means open up your checkbook and feel free to pay for it!
You've hit on something many of us in this area wonder about whenever we hear another "development" the Johnsons want, but expect the taxpayers to fund. Truth of the matter is Sam Johnson (either 26th or 36th richest man in the world) could pay for this out of petty cash...it remains to be seen if he'll fund any part of it. This area simply can't afford to absorb a multi-million dollar annual subsidy...we've got the highest unemployment in the state.
