Saving the butt of the Seattle Monorail?
Some people in Seattle are trying to set up a recall election to roll back the big tax increase that's intended to pay for building a actual transit monorail in Seattle. I have the nasty suspicion that this is merely another symptom of the free-lunchers and their evil no-taxes-but-we-still-want-services attitude, but I'll take the silver lining; if that $1.75 billion is yanked, the knotheads who intend to destroy the existing Seattle monorail in favor of a new and completely incompatable one will end up out on the street, thus keeping the (last intact?) Alweg monorail alive for a while longer.
After all, if the Seattle Monrail people want Disney, a $79 advance purchase on Southwest will get them there without destroying a nice part of Seattle in the process.
