The Rail agenda they have is why I feel this way, and much of the public.

And the past can't be changed. <br /><br />You can think of it as more money for transit in general if you want. Some of the money will go to sidewalks which benefit everybody and are not just for TriMet. And do you have an alternative to it?<br /><br />Do you think they should leave 100's of millions of dollars on the Federal table for some other region to get? In addition, the money to operate the line should come from an increase in the payroll taxes as well as service that the line will replace.<br /><br />Also, the measure was not doable before because the Westside bonds were still being paid off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181700857407507016.post-20578932121650947662010-09-25T10:43:31.512-07:002010-09-25T10:43:31.512-07:00You make excellent points buddy, but I am still vo...You make excellent points buddy, but I am still voting yes.<br />Hell its just self interest, I'm sure you understand.Al Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670275801784105978noreply@blogger.com
