The Sun Herald is overjoyed that President Bush is in town to address the graduates of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. They see it as an opportunity to hit him up for the $700 million to move the CSX railroad. The only thing the Sun Herald and I agree on is that President Bush should check this out for himself. He should talk to the ordinary citizens that will be affected by the railroads move. There have been a flurry of sound offs in the Sun Herald objecting to moving CSX.

Question for you
If the CSX railroad is moved inland, and we have a new east-west corridor, will they now need two Ocean Springs/Biloxi bridges instead of one Monster Bridge?

Not God’s Plan• Don't you think if our good Lord wanted the railroad moved, He would have moved it in Katrina? So instead of trying to buy the railroad, let's use that money for some of the homes we all lost so we would all have a place to live.

Bad Move• I read the governor's comment that moving CSX was a high priority. For him perhaps, but not for me. I am a resident of Gulfport whose Second Street property ends at the tracks. Having a major highway in my back yard is not progress to me. As a resident of Gulfport since the late 1940s, I do have a question for the governor. When was Beach Boulevard a sleepy road? Not in my lifetime. It has been known as U.S. 90, a major highway, and the only east-west route until I-10 was built. I am not in favor of changing the railway into a major highway
