AS An illinoian, I follow stories like this regularly. this is in fact part of an overall rail trainsit program that has been in the works for over 20 years now, it has in no way any relation to current gas prices. The Illinois Government, City and Counties and even the our federal represenitives have all been working to better link the state together for a long time now. In fact, soon the Metra will be expanded westward to Rockford and may even one day continue west to Moline. There is even a feasibility study on mtra suggesting it may be economically feasible to Link to Springfield. The grand idea is to make Metra Illinois Public rail system, with Amtrak supplimenting certain sections that it already services. The State is just offsetting the costs to get Amtrak to run more often. As for the stupid teacher, they should get back to focusing on the students and not their wallet. $74k is outradious for a teacher, the average pay in Rockford (the last i heard) was around $30k a year. I can go on about the public Education system, but this is a train forum, so I won't.
