Dear Editor: It was reported in the paper that the Friends of Rail to Trail received 200K to do a feasibility study on the rail to trail project. I called Pierre to see what group of taxpayers this money comes from. When we buy gas we pay 18.4 cents a gallon federal tax. Most of us think this money will be used to build or repair roads. Special interest groups have lobbied to divert part of this tax money to special interest groups pet projects. This is a perfect example of many taxpayers paying the bill on a project that only benefits a few. Friends have to raise a local match of 45K. The Commissioners of Charles Mix and Bon Homme County have voted NOT to support this project. In my opinion, this project will never be built until they receive our support. The main reason I don't support this project is the liability issue. Before you donate to the 45K fund, do your homework.
