Murray's Hourse Bill and the Senate (subject to some important caveats) are definitely much needed pieces of legislation in my view The problem appears to be...
Have to say I'm with Kim here. The email didn't answer every question I had, nor any of them completely, but it seemed a resonable explanantion for events....
Well, Kim, I don't know when's the last time you were visiting here, but it's getting REAL hard to be a monorail supporter here in Seattle. Or maybe I should...
Well, Mike, as I've complained to folks over at the agency as well as people on this list, I'm getting more and more tired with the excuses coming out of the ...
Hi Kim, I'm with Michael on this as well. The drawn out negociations are killing the King County Monorail group as well. The back room deals on the MVET tax...
Yes, let's be very clear here. Whatever the Seattle comes up with will set the tone for monorail in the region. If it's anything short of superb King County...
If you really want to frustrate yourself over the SMP governance issue, try watching Up Front with Robert Mak on King 5 (I think it is available on line…)....
so, Mike, as you can see from the responses, monorail supporters in the Puget Sound are ___GRUMPY___. what we've been getting is a total lack of information...
... will set ... superb King ... -up ... - in ... hey, friends, don't let friends do stupid things without at least warning them that they were stupid. Anyway...
Seattle Times editorial on the current state of affairs at the SMP: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/editorialsopinion/2002193765_mon oed02.html I think...
shock-value title, but the Williamson's comments on the stations is concerning - it seems difficult to fathom how dropping stations can be a successful...
yeah, the title is a bit alarmist -- the facts quoted really aren't much different than saying that signing up for a $200K, 30-year, 6 percent mortgage will...
None of those other projects are proposing to use 50 year + bonds. In fact, Mike Murphy (long time State Treasurer for WA, and a darn nice guy) says he has...
... [...] ... I'd be interested in knowing which if any of these provisions are standard in other construction contracts around the country, and which could be...
... Well Duhh, Seattle is paying for ALL of the monorail and not spreading the cost out like Sound Transit is able to. Now whether its better for Seattle to...
Nah, it just might be true on a total project cost basis too. The amount of borrowing for the two projects is roughly the same, and ST is only borrowing for...
just to be clear the SMP does not have the authority to borrow beyond 40 years and the current draft of the legislation in Olympia provides even greater...
So if "the King County Monorail is in a coma" as you state, and if the current situation at the SMP continues to drive it closer to the brink, then what is...
Don't look now, but ST just issued another $423Million in new bonds – and they are 25 year bonds in keeping with Mike Murphy's views. If you want to read...
... Plan B, wait. We all know that the ST phase II will say build a Light rail to Northgate, and that the cost is $5B+. We also know that by the time that ST...
... This is all about money. The owners of the uglist parking garage in Seattle bitching that they won't receive the full benefit of a Monorail built at...
No, the trouble is that he and a couple of owners have been very willing to work with the Seattle Monorail Project all along, and suddenly now there's tension ...
just for a moment, try to get past all the complaints about being 300% over what was promised to voters. it's a reality, it's being built, and it's going well...
