I am no Greg Nichols fan but I have to give credit to the mayor for being reasonable.

He was a strong monorail supporter for years. He believed the Seattle Monorail Project board phony information for a long time.

When it was announced that the project "had no clothes," even Nickels had to agree it was time to oppose it.

For Stockmeyer and Laws to blame Horn and Weeks for the current situation is a bit disingenuous. They were on the board. A board is supposed to provide oversight and guidance. That they allowed Horn and Weeks to behave the way they did speaks volumes about why they should not be re-elected. What confidence do we have that they will act like a board this time?

Time to ban this boondoggle and also Stockmeyer and Laws.
