• What facts support the need for a parallel road within a 1/2 mile of route 251 and I-90 that would cost millions of your tax dollars to build.

• Who benefits besides Land Speculators, Road Builders and Developers?
• Who pays for this project? You pay! -- When was the last time a new gas station or development reduced your tax bill --

• Your County Taxes have already
  gone up 5.5% this year!
• At the same time, the Sheriffs department & River Bluff Nursing Home were asked to cut 2.63% from their budgets. 

> 15 Sheriff office vacancies are not being filled as a result. <

• Question:  What would we expect to get for those millions?

  -  Compromised wetlands and endangered species in the Kinnikinnick Creek.

-  Older, established areas left to deteriorate and die in and around Rockford.

-  Two Grade Schools would have 4 additional lanes of traffic all along their east sides.

           -  8 to 12% of remaining vacant land would be absorbed.

  -  Ground water contamination due to unstable soil and fractured limestone penetrations. 

And, your taxes would go up all over the county in order to pay for it!
