Assuming the local nay-sayers don't overturn the project with an
initiative
campaign, Seattle will be building a new monorail system over the next few
years.

I was reading the Seattle Weekly this AM, over coffee and blueberry muffin
at
Starbucks, and learned that one of the firms under final consideration to
build
the monorail is.........Bombardier

Another reminder that the boat business is seldom viable as a sole
enterprise.
More and more, our boats, motors, equipment, and accessories are provided
as
little specialty items or departments of megalithic international
corporations.

It's a brilliant idea. Gould, I'd be very interested in following this
issue. Other than your local news rags, is there a group which is
specifically devoted to the project, and to wrangling with the naysayers?
