Issue aims at all passenger rail, not just streetcar

Cincinnati Enquirer
July 6, 2009

I am writing to you today to ask that you accurately report on the Anti-Passenger Rail Amendment. In recent articles (“Chamber opposes anti-streetcar measure,” July 1), The Enquirer has been calling this amendment the “streetcar measure” or the “streetcar issue” when in reality it will affect all passenger rail - not just the streetcar.

It is inaccurate and misleading for The Enquirer to call the ballot initiative the “streetcar issue” when it would permanently affect all passenger rail. A ballot initiative that affected all highways would not be called the “Norwood Lateral issue,” nor would an initiative that affected all parks be called the “Eden Park issue.”
