Balt,
Whether we like it or not many decisions are the result of pure politics or what those pols think people want to hear or will benefit them.
The "What's in it for me", or does it favor my district has long been the mantra. The pols are more interested in the "what's in it for me" part.
Impress your constituents with BS (IOW, if you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with BS and they think you are working to better your lives by bringing jobs or whatever. Regardless of their political leanings all politicians are fertilizer spreaders with manure straight from the barn or pasture.

OK, what double stacks are being operated on the South Shore and why are they there? I don't doubt what you're saying, I just want a better understanding.
Politics or not!
