Are we fed up with taxes? Well, we did defeat the sales tax increase last night.
Lew: How long will we get before some idiot radical judge decides that we, the people, really didn't know what we were doing when we voted this thing down and imposes the tax anyway? Or the dead voters in Clark County have their votes added into the mix, ala King County and the imposition of Queen Chrissy four years ago?
Just wondering.
Well, Scottie, how many times have we voted down light rail? It appears we will be getting it whether we want it or not.
Remember when we voted back the cost of our license plates and the Democrats had it overturned through the courts?
At least they kept that one low, for now.
Lew, You're right about our voting down light rail here in Vancouver, as well as the license tabs fee (read "tax") increase.
Light rail, if it comes into Vancouver via the new I-5 bridge, if and when it gets built, will service only a very small part of the city, the central core along Main Street, and virtually none of Clark County outside the city limits. And, if we use Oregon's costs per mile to build the light rail corridor, $180,000,000. per mile(and will be getting larger every day), it would be a safe bet that it won't be added to in anyone's foreseeable future.
Scottiebill -
you said:

Light Rail will come, and in all the wrong ways. Pollard and Al Angelo have too much invested in downtown. They are the ones running the show, and they wont be derailed (no pun intended).
It's a disgrace the amount of $$ poured into downtown. It's like our own south waterfront (read Portland). Have you been down here lately?
What I cant wrap my brain around is why they would want to put light rail on the west side when the majority of the people live in the east side. The notion that it will bring crime to Vancouver doesn't Jive with me. Vancouver already has crime. And Portland could complain about the opposite. Look at the guy from Vancouver that killed the guy on his houseboat in jantzen beach.
Hell and hand cart I tell ya. Want to get even more depressed? Try savage nation. that guy puts it in stark reality in a very.depressing.way.
todash: You are right about Pollard and Angelo having too much invested tin the downtown area. That alone has skewed their thinking about light rail.
As far as light rail bringing crime to Vancouver and crime already being here, you are right here too. However, I believe that light rail will bring more crime here fro Portland and Gresham in the form of those brain-dead idiots that harass light rail riders over there. We don't need them and we don't need light rail in Vancouver to serve a very narrow corridor through downtown.
As for the Savage Nation, I quit listening to him quite a while ago. He is way too off the wall for my liking. He hates anyone who doesn't agree with his rantings. And let's not go into discussing his self-aggrandizing, over-the-top active, ego. Maybe Guinness should enter his ego into their Book of Records.
