Subject: FYI: NAFTA  AND  I-69: Ft. Wayne, IN News Sentinal Article

One major problem that I have noticed is the map does not show the many
existing interstates which the proposed I 69 would duplicate.

Subject: I-69 and NAFTA

The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel has a special 10-page pull-out section today
on the proposed new Interstate 69 Canada-to-Mexico NAFTA superhighway.
It features a snappy FULL-PAGE ad criticizing the proposed new highway
route in Indiana and promoting the environmentally and fiscally sensible
Interstate 70/US 41 route.  The highway boosters did not put in an ad of
their own.

The ad, from the Hoosier Environmental Council, Environmental Law and
Policy Center of the Midwest and Friends of the Earth, will be up soon for
you to see on the Environmental Law and Policy Center's web site at
www.elpc.org. In the meantime, the articles in the pull-out section -- a
number of which address the controversy over the route in Indiana ­­ and
a nice little Internet "banner" ad promoting I­70/US 41 are available on
the
News-Sentinel's web site at:
