The monorail cost being forecast is not just construction plus interest but rather also includes the operation costs for many years. I believe it is 40 years. Report the facts.

West Seattle would be the beneficiary of such a transportation project. Where is our light rail that we pay for? The monorail is West Seattle's light rail. Your headline read "Monorail's rough night." Fact is that support outweighed opposition 2-to-1. What the heck did your headline mean? Was that your personal opinion? Don't you want to pay for the transportation project?

Separate fact from fiction. Personal opinion from reality. Reality was that people spoke out for the project 2-to-1 regardless of your headline.

My intention and goal will be to show that, as many people of West Seattle, that reporters of the West Seattle Herald do not report but are rather propagandist.

I challenge you to prove me wrong.
