Dear Editor,
I was happy to see the Editorial by Guy Gallipeau, Citizen Against Tunnel from West Seattle. We have tried to get the retrofit for Viaduct forever. Why won’t anyone listen. We have signed to stop the building of the tunnel.

You, the taxpayers, should know the money is what is talking, big business people that didn’t grow up here. This is not New York or California. Please, I am asking that you talk to Victor O. Gray, Civil and the Structural Engineer Viaduct Preservation Group. Elizebeth Campbell and Craig Keller are on the computers so ask them. Victor O. Gray was involved in the building of the Viaduct. Please don’t let money do what they have tried for years.

If you really care about the taxes you pay, listen up as they will charge you for the use of the tunnel while all they are trying to do is bring in visitors. They are overlooking the workers and retired people. And in the Social Security we have over 700 billion dollars, we are not broke unless you let them use it. We don’t want the stock market investing as the Republicans want to do, we like it to stay where it is. And people coming should not use what we and our families worked for. God Bless you all for the read. And we don’t want rail in West Seattle - save the money for roads and bridges.
