Regarding your April 27 article "Poll shows support for Triangle rail service," I was one of the 811 respondents to the April 12 telephone survey regarding support for a Triangle rail transit system. Why am I not surprised that the poll showed overwhelming support for regional rail? Let me answer that with a simple question: Who paid for the survey? Why, the very people who are trying to save their jobs -- the Triangle Transit Authority.I found it very difficult, during the telephone survey, to answer the questions in a way that would convey the fact that I don't support the rail system. Many questions were worded such that most answers would show at least some support.Your article noted an interesting point -- why didn't the survey ask if the respondent would ride the rails?Dick RentfrowRaleigh
