Blair Purcell spent his first 28 years of life in LaPorte County, Ind., and after a 40-year absence, he and his wife, Margot, returned to the area nearly two years ago.

I'm afraid my remarks were slightly misquoted. After considerable effort and research over several months, I said "no way" to the intermodals, not "no way" to progress. There are many alternative ideas that are more suited to La Porte County and we recently shared two we found with our county redevelopment commissions.

We received prompt and courteous responses from each commission indicating they would explore the options we suggested.
