By now, we've come to know what a co-opted, non-Republican RINO my brother-in-law, Commissioner Marc Boldt, has become.
That's the set up for the comment left under the democratian's blog post entitled: Boldt's soothing letter on light rail.
What the letter said was meaningless pap: Boldt has been completely taken over by the downtown special interests and democrats that run his political life. With a rate of 99% or so, Boldt votes with democrat Steve "The Liar" Stuart (Most famous for his lying campaign promise to make sure we had a loot rail vote THIS November) against the only Republican on the commission, Tom Mielke.
This comment is at the bottom of the page. And I am ashamed to admit that I didn't think of it. But I wish I had..
Indeed.

My question is one of process, not a position on transit. Why is it there was enough information to have a vote when the tax issue was a combined vote for an increase in taxes to fund bus as well as light rail etc. but if the two are separated "Many of the details surrounding the light rail and bus rapid transit proposals remain to be worked out"? It seems to me separating the vote for clarity for the voters is a good idea, but I don't understand why separating the issues causes a postponement of the vote.
Tim "The Liar" Leavitt, in his little playground-throwing fit, stood behind this non-existent "lack of information" scam as his excuse for muscling his whiny veto of the whole thing.
Mr. Vartanian points out what should have been obvious to me:
That if there was enough "information" available to vote on this as a JOINT proposal, then there damned sure was enough information available to vote on it separately.
It's hard to escape the conclusion, then, that the "lack of information" scam is a lie; and that the slime like Leavitt, Stuart and Boldt are stalling to make sure they can jam it down a sub-district's throat... much like the last C-Trans scam vote in 2005, where tens of thousands forced to pay for this rip off were excluded from having any say.
Well done, George.

His point is exactly why I advocate voting NO on any and everything related to C-Tran until they get the message.
It is obvious, as it has been all along, the putting off the separate vote on loot rail is to give them time to form their sub-district to ensure passage of another tax.
We have been lied to and led around by our noses long enough.
Reject any tax increase or measure related to C-Tran. Take our community back.
From what I have heard Kelly from both Tim and Steve is there is a simple process they MUST go through with an indepentant review panel and one other thing to officially have this singular vote count by a state law.
Now if C-tran Executive Board is wrong on this, can you show or provide me the reason why? That is what they have been saying for the last six months and have not wavered in that comment.
But if they are just using this as a way to push off the vote until January, be damned with them!
Oh, one more comment that might be germaine to this. George serves on the Clark County planning commission, for some time, SO he might have a really good idea of what he's questioning?!?!
