American Dream

Research Triangle Park, NC - Recently the Triangle Transit Authority conducted a self preservation poll. They will say anything to promote a rail project that never seems to get approved by Congress or the voters. Thankfully, there are excellent men in office, who won't tollerate their lies, and will go on record stating such:

Hi Damien,
You stated: "The survey shows that a majority of Triangle residents believe that a regional rail system is needed and will improve the quality of life".
A poll does not speak for the majority of the triangle residents. If that were the case, then every elected official would be able to claim they speak for a majority of the citizens they are elected to represent, which would not be true, but certainly be more accurate than your poll. They were elected by a majority of voters and not a majority of citizens. The same for your poll. A majority of those you polled is different than a majority of the triangle citizens.
So with that said, I guess if you can claim your poll speaks for the majority of the triangle, then I speak for the majority of Cary by saying " TTA is a waste of taxpayer dollars and should stop trying to push for a train that would be the biggest boondoggle of the triangle".
Sincerely,
Michael A. Joyce
