Really? What were the anti-tunnel folks' concerns?
Pretty much what holyscroller described:1. Expensive 2. Bad idea in Earthquake country. 3. Beloved of unions and crony capitalists. I’m not sure what they thought the alternative should be.
My friend is a moderate Republican and I told him I was sitting out the last mayoral election(I was still living in Seattle then) because they were both gun grabbers. He agreed, but said he was voting for whichever gun grabber was anti tunnel.
