Letter: The issues are not resolved

It’s all over but for the shouting and celebrating. Some of us won, and some lost. But the fight is not over. The issues have not been resolved. The Mid-States Corridor is not a settled issue, far from it. Those of us opposed to the Corridor project have been in this very same place before.
