Letter to the Editor: Protect and expand Amtrak

By Shane Nodurft Chicago

I am writing to inform you that I am very upset with Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposal to cut Illinois’ Amtrak routes by 40 percent. More people including the millennial generation are using Amtrak. Since the millennial generation is notorious for ditching automobiles, the millennials need to get out and vote, so we do not get another anti-Amtrak governor. As a 41-year-old Midwest High Speed Rail Association member I am urging all millennials to write their elected officials and newspaper editors to protect and expand Amtrak.
