As a West Seattle resident, I am outraged that our civic leaders are now attempting to pull the plug on the monorail, the only reasonable transit system that will be coming to West Seattle.

As a Democrat, I am outraged that our civic leaders are attempting to kill the monorail, a project that would reduce harmful emissions and help slow global warming.

As a young person, I am outraged that our civic leaders would harm my friends and my future by trying to end a project that would help ease congestion, a problem that gets worse everyday. Many of the people who pushed for a revote were not doing it because of the monorail's financial problems, they were doing it because they have always been against the monorail, and they see the revote as their best chance of killing a project that will only help this city.
