Advocates argue a reasonable bonus is preferable to protracted debate on a one dollar stake for five. They claim corruption and fraud aside, principle need not block a project that would be completed and operated. Promoters promise no request until work is ready. The railroad would likely boost property values and lower fuel and commodity costs.
