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

Scottiebill - you said: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.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

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

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: 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.

Are we fed up with taxes? Well, we did defeat the sales tax increase last night.
