I have never seen so much whining, teeth gnashing, and the like over a lousy $15.00. I think they should have raised it to $75.00 per year but knowing all the whining over $15.00 now i know why they did not.
if you can't afford $15.00 to increase the dues then you can't afford to buy trains period.
if you leave the TCA because of the increase then shame on you.
