THIS IS HOW YOU CAN HELP US
1. Call and/or Email Northfield’s State Senator Rich Draheim with a message like this:
“As a resident of [Northfield] and your constituent, I urge you to support the restoration of regional passenger rail service for Northfield, and your sponsorship of a Senate Companion bill to HF1393! Regional Passenger Rail on an existing rail line makes good fiscal sense! It maximizes our use of existing infrastructure and introduces improvements that benefit unimpeded freight and passenger rail in our region.” Say more if you want to: what specific difference will passenger rail make for your life and for our region? Why is this a need and not merely a want? Click https://docs.google.com/document/d/17C9m414ioON1AlwQRz9hRT-yHs4T7ow0-sFFbFkF-Nw/edit for more ideas.
Close by repeating your request: Sponsor a Senate Bill to fund the Northfield Rail Corridor Study! Thank you for your time and public service.”
