Interesting Article in today’s Fish Wrapper; “LIGHT-RAIL ALIGNMENT DIVIDE COMMUNITY”. It is doing more then dividing the Community!!! It is rapidly causing us to lose faith in the Vancouver City Council. Where is the change we voted for? Recently, in his State of the City Speech Mayor Leavitt said, “Deficits mean end to Business as Usual”. When will we start to see the ‘THE BEGINNING OF THE END TO BUSINESS AS USUAL”?
Why, if as promised by the Vancouver City Council, C-Tran and the Clark County Commissioners that “WE THE PEOPLE’ will have the final say on whether or not we will approve a TAX INCREASE to fund the operation and maintenance of “LIGHT RAIL THE GRAVY TRAIN” is the Vancouver City Council continuing to behave as if bringing “LIGHT RAIL THE GRAVY TRAIN” to Vancouver is a done deal?
Why are they (THOSE WHO SUPPORT LIGHT RAIL), ‘DURING THE GREATEST ECONOMIC CRISIS’ SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION’ still spending our Hard Earned Tax Dollars on “LIGHT RAIL THE GRAVY TRAIN” before they know the outcome of the ‘VOTE OF THE PEOPLE’? Apparently there is something they are not telling us or we are in for a surprise.
And they wonder why we ‘DON’T TRUST GOVERNMENT ANYMORE’? Please read the Attachment.

P.S. There is a lot of Good Anti-Light Rail, Anti-Corrupt Government Information Available. Unfortunately we do not have in Vancouver, a Radio Station, a TV station or a Voter Friendly News Paper to help us educate the Taxpayers on how expensive, ineffective and inefficient Light Rail The Gray Train Is or what corrupt politicians at all level are doing to destroy our once great Country. The only way we can get our information out is if we develop a Citizen"s Email Network. Please forward Emails you agree with to your mailing list and ask those on your list to forward to their Mailing List. With a little effort maybe we can turn the Tax and Spend Rascals Around.
