[PRCo] Re: Patronage of the Rail Lines (Was: Pittsburgh 7-Charles Street abandonment)

[John Swindler]

He should not be ignored.  A rebuttal to his letters needs to appear in 
print in all instances.  The stakes are too high.

His is a lobby campaign.  Not to influence the local readers.  Because why 
would one of his form letters about light rail appear in the Meadville 
newspaper?  No, I suspect his real audience is the politicians whose staff 
will scan the local papers for daily reading files.  And what he is doing is 
planting the impression that rail transit is a waste of taxpayers money with 
the congressmen who will develope and vote on the TEA-21 reauthorization 
legislation in a couple years.

Just an opinion.
