Expanded trolley routes applauded

As members of the community interested in seeing increased public transportation services, we, the Transportation Task Force, are very excited to see that the Interurban Trolley is expanding its route farther into Goshen’s Industrial Park.

We are grateful for this extension, and want to publicly affirm Michiana Area Council of Governments for this positive step towards better serving our local community. This is a great starting point in making work places more accessible to employees!

In our conversations with community members in Elkhart and Goshen over the last few months, many have advocated for increasing public transportation to residential and industrial areas.

In addition to this support from the community at-large, we have received more than 3,000 supportive signatures and comment forms — with more arriving every day. Thus we also thank MACOG on behalf of those who have submitted forms to us with their support of this new Interurban Trolley route.

We are glad to have had the opportunity to meet with MACOG staff in April, and appreciate the recent route change in the context of our ongoing conversations. We look forward to continuing work with MACOG and community members to support clean and affordable transportation for local residents and workers in the local economy.

Cut of Rieth Interpretive Center part-time coordinator will be felt
Praise, lament and wish encompass my feelings for the termination of the part-time position of program coordinator for the Rieth Interpretive Center in the Goshen Parks Department. Praise is for Melissa Kinsey’s effective, “full-time” effort in being the right person in the right place to work at the purpose for the RIC.

Editorial about paying debt was right
There is much to applaud in the Friday, Jan. 20 Goshen News editorial titled “Keep refund...” At a time when fiscal conservatives decry the mounting indebtedness we will pass on to our children, clear thinking is called for in the husbanding of limited revenues and reserves. Gov. Mitch Daniels will get some applause for returning money that really belongs to taxpayers, not to the state. But I agree with the editorial stating that this “is a short-sighted move.”

One good deed leads to another

Just another day, That mad dash to work contemplating all that is needed to get accomplished and the short amount of time I have to get it done took a very surprising turn.
