provide routes from Valparaiso and Lowell to Chicago, opposition is mounting. 
<P>That is a short-sighted approach to the issue. 
<P>The most recent estimate is that $500 million will have to come from the 
state and local government to match the $500 million U.S. Rep. Peter Visclosky, 
D-Merrillville, says he can get from the federal government. Those are 
staggering amounts of money and are the primary reason that opposition to the 
commuter rail has surfaced. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.post-trib.com/news/opinion/733233,edit.article">
<P>Nevertheless, expanded commuter rail is a key to the economic future of 
Northwest Indiana. It is much more than coincidence that prosperous Chicago 
suburbs are linked by commuter rail to downtown Chicago. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7F71363B-97E4-4A57-BE4A-7E88D0896177/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
