Actually, that's definitely the case. Wes Chesbro, Patty Berg... c'mon. They're about one thing and one thing only, keeping position, figuring out how to keep each other in, shuffling around, trying to beat the term limits. And naming things after each other. Worthless worthless worthless.<BR/><BR/>I liked Patty before she got elected, but she has been worthless in that position, she became a partisan animal, and no, I don't trust her to vote for what is right. She will only vote party line.<BR/><BR/>Are there any examples of her bucking the party? Or Chesbro? I haven't seen it. And with him I see alot of showing up at the end of a project for the photo op, no work.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-71097251264917564252008-11-30T19:59:00.000-08:002008-11-30T19:59:00.000-08:00So why do you think the Harbor District politician...So why do you think the Harbor District politicians will do better with their bond money?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-53456152528447883332008-11-30T19:44:00.000-08:002008-11-30T19:44:00.000-08:00I voted for the High Speed Rail, also.

Broke my current rule about Bond Measures because we badly need to invest in out infrastructure.<BR/><BR/>I hope they spend it wisely and actually accomplish the goal. But I don't have alot of faith in any of our current politicians. If it isn't locked away from their grubby paws, they'll piss it away.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-81597195310945823272008-11-30T19:29:00.000-08:002008-11-30T19:29:00.000-08:00I voted for high speed rail as a token step in the...I voted for high speed rail as a token step in the right direction and thanks for supporting my old (1976) Solar Rail concept that is still very much needed throughout California. <BR/><BR/>I have great reservations though about any BART-type system because I've ridden those god-awful noisy suckers and don't want that sort of badly designed technology foisted on any new solar powered monorail system. Electric trains do not have to make all the racket that subway trains and BART do if designed right.Steve Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731109814328159838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-50639678674459674572008-11-30T14:46:00.000-08:002008-11-30T14:46:00.000-08:00So you plan on voting yes on bonds for this projec...So you plan on voting yes on bonds for this project Rose and Stephen? How did you guys vote on the High Speed Rail Bond? That one made 100x more sense than any freight rail system thru the Eel, yet I bet you guys voted against it.<BR/><BR/>It's a great thing that this one passed. High speed rail thru the developing central valley is forward thinking. And by the way, I'm all for a solar powered monorail system, but first someone needs to put together a vaild proposal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-60193958177108320532008-11-30T11:16:00.000-08:002008-11-30T11:16:00.000-08:00Actually, Rose, I do believe this isn't natural st...Actually, Rose, I do believe this isn't natural stupidity but part of the Left's inability to overcome "us" vs. "them" mentality, the mentality it takes to continually see the world in terms of left or right. NCRA= Humboldt Bay port development= Arkley corporate capitalist= corporate industry success= Lefties losing political power. A sad way to look at the world but it is political viewpoint of a lot of people who frequent these blogs.Steve Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731109814328159838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-26793868167486599622008-11-30T07:46:00.000-08:002008-11-30T07:46:00.000-08:00I agree, Stephen.

If a bridge can be built across Confusion Hill to bypass its perennial landslides, a way can be made to develop a landslide resistant railway line. Lift the track above the moving ground with elevated tracks on bases that are rooted in solid rock. Think monorail, solar-powered, think creatively, but THINK instead of this really tiresome nay saying about human capacity to engineer solutions. It's really the same mentality as sticking your head in the sand when danger comes to believe we can't solve the Eel River canyon problem when all evidence of human abilities points in the opposite direction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-19878071612796307842008-11-29T20:42:00.000-08:002008-11-29T20:42:00.000-08:00I'm all for a working port, but we have to be reas...I'm all for a working port, but we have to be reasonable. Any proposal that relies on the rail being rebuilt thru the Eel River canyon is a flawed plan. It won't happen.

Hopefully Obama will support our infrastructures and our free society. He took about a million from Goldman Sachs so a working economy just might make his cut. Baykeepers just might not get their way. But don't worry they will never stop sueing. That's what they do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
