Mr. Wallace summed it up. Just because the State of Maine spends $$ on rails,I dont always agree. This is whats wrong with America: nobody sees the "big picture"-its all self interest & whats good for what "I"like. In my opinion,the rehab of the Lewiston Lower,BEFORE a written committment was made by a customer(Grimmels Scrap) was a "boondoggle".So is brush cutting on the Mt. Division,for "railcars" to putt putt on. IF REAL trains ever run on that ROW,it wont be on most of those ancient rails & ties. So,let it be,and when there is the REAL promise of it becoming an active railroad,cut the brush. It just isnt "trains". I go by the State Police garage,and see a real surplus of perfectly good cruisers & detective cars-but they want more "toys". I take a class in U.N.H. last week. No frills,black chalkboards,no carpeting,just the basics. Same with their public schools vs. Maine schools,and they beat us in "test scores"! It is not the quality of the facility,but the teacher,Socrates taught under an olive tree! Only N.H. remains as the only N.E. state with frugality and thats because the "yuppies" havent gained control! Bud
