Another chance for citizens to weigh in on proposed DM&E expansion
Track the Truth Launches Online Petition against DM&E Taxpayer-funded $2.3 Billion Loan
ROCHESTER, Minn., Feb. 2 -- Track the Truth launched an online petition drive against the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad's (DM&E) $2.3 billion taxpayer-funded loan request, which if granted, will be the largest loan ever to a private company in U.S. history. The petition, available on Track the Truth, reflects the growing public opposition to DM&E's loan. The petition was prompted by the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) recent environmental ruling, which starts the beginning of a final 90-day review period. It will be sent to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters and will be presented to other federal officials.
