The people have a right to know if their next president is a flip-flopper, and in an interview with Tim Russert, our Flip Side candidate denies flip-flopping, denies denying he flip-flopped, and generally shows himself to be a flop that nobody can deny. At least we think that's what he meant.
That was fast. Just a week after the voters nixed Proposition 1 for roads and transit, Gov. Chris Gregoire announces she's taking control of 520 bridge planning. Seattle is about to pay a price for its dithering -- loss of local control.
A similar theme was sounded in Bill Virgin's column in today's P-I, suggesting a divestiture of authority for Sound Transit, handing over the controls for Sounder Commuter Rail to Amtrak and bringing on some private transit services. Is the corpse about to be carved up?
