Huntley Trustee Ronda Goldman told me that a train in Huntley would never happen. Was the evening that plans for the outlet mall property were being showcased at Village Hall on about 6 easels. I was stunned. I asked her why she said this. She commented something about Quinn retiring. I said oh you mean Rauner’s freezing of the state budget? I talked to Daniel Biss and Litesa Wallace at the NIU Gubernatorial forum in October of 2017. (This BTW was the first time I met Lauren Underwood in person at a table in the hallway) I brought up the train as Wallace is from Rockford. I also talked to Biss about the ICE contract and the Trust Act. Both issues were daunting things to discuss with Rauner in office. Rauner is out. JB is in. Move on it Huntley. Get your train!
