Hat tip to Ben Tribbett/NLS on this one: Chap Petersen states his position on the Tysons Metro controversy in a post perfectly titled "It's Not Over 'Til It's Under," and I couldn't agree more:
... I'll make my position clear right now: The elevated rail should not be built. Period. The tunnel alternative should be aggressively pursued by a process that uses competitive bidding (unlike the current model) to select the builder. Period.
Exactly right, Chap. This is yet another reason why I love you, man, and why I support you so strongly for State Senate over Mrs. Tom "DeLay" Davis. Go Chap!!!
[UPDATE: Jim Bacon does a number on the House transportation plan as well. I love this: "In a desperate bid to stave off an election debacle, to say that they've 'done something,' the GOP legislators have abandoned any pretense of economic rationality." So true, so true.]
