To me, when McCain's economist says we should invest in infrastructure "wisely", especially after talking about Dulles, he really means that like Ma Peters, he thinks investing in bikes and transit is silly.

Surprise Surprise!!! The Seattle Times columnist says vote No on Light Rail in Seattle. I hope it passes big time under the big blue wave.

Veseley says "no" on light rail in Seattle because it would displace his special dedicated lanes (SOV allowed for this stretch, but not the rest of the bridge) across Lake Washington between Seattle and Mercer Island. It's pure self-interest.
