"Fail to PLAN....PLAN to FAIL" Features and Benefits of the Sanders (Burnham 2.0) Plan (9 of 10 Episodes)

The Case for the Great Lakes Development Authority: We review plans to integrate (5) stadium development projects, a shared regional rail centric infrastructure program, a plan to pay for it all without federal funding or new local taxes, and discuss the politics of it all. We answer the question, "Why would I support this?" from a couple of different points of view.  We acknowledge the foundational work of Rick Harnish and the High Speed Rail Alliance who identified the power of unlocking the St Charles Air  Line aka: Cross Rail Chicago - to establish a true Midwest High Speed Rail network.
