Monorail in the news

Seattle needs elevated rapid transit, and Seattle voters have backed it time and again. We're willing to put our trust in Seattle voters. A new campaign will force a discussion of what's really at issue—the financial plan, not the concept or technology.

They don't need cynical opportunists with ulterior motives—people who've lost on this issue over and over again—hijacking the debate.
