There is much opposition to a proposed truck plaza on Hwy 20 near Hwy 35, which is essentially a gateway to Michigan City from 94. There are others, however, who think it's a great idea and would bring lots of business to the city. Hence the commerce dollars falling out of the back of the truck.
This has been a hot-button local issue before - for the curious, see in my Archives, "A Tough Crowd" from back in 2005.
