The deal would double the Norfolk Southern rent to $56M/yr until 2051, when NS would own the line. This doesn't net the city $1.6 billion, but really $800M and loses ownership. NS wouldn't propose a purchase if it didn't save them money. We're getting the raw end of the deal.

It's just ableism. It's really that simple. It's no different to a candidate with a permanent physical disability. Should we expect NBC to comment on Greg Abbott's wheelchair in every story? Of course not, because it doesn't effect who he is as a governor or candidate.
We were happy to accommodate closed captioning. Our reporting did not and should not comment on fitness for office. This is for voters to decide. What we do push for as reporters is transparency. It’s our job. Fetterman sat down and answered our questions. That’s his job.
