Wallace & Burke - Riled by Rails
In a nation long ruled by its railroads, the need for even faster freight delivery has magnified their power. For the citizens of 8 Chicago communities, that power may exact a great toll. During this episode of the Crisis Cast, Lissa & Thom bring to light two of the voices behind the Coalition to Stop CPKC. Kevin Wallace is the Mayor of Bartlett, Illinois and James Burke is Chief for the Wood Dale Fire Protection District. You'll hear their biggest fears about a proposed 33-billion dollar railway merger connecting Mexico to Canada.
