Good idea is not enough

Ideas are great, but there has to be competent follow-through

I think it is a wise decision to preserve the E&N rail, right of way, for future use.

That being said, and the request for $15 million should be questioned, as to how the money will be used.

For example, I was shocked to see the E&N people using instead of the usual creosoted ties beautiful, very expensive, untreated yellow cedar ties.

It is like a person wanting to build a fence around their property, and going to the lumber yard and buying untreated 4x4 lumber, for fence posts.

Instead of indiscriminately handing out money, they should check for common sense, experience and competence of the receivers. A good idea, by itself, is not enough to get funds.
