We have already lost one decade to inaction. Every year we delay, congestion worsens, freight slows, and Clark County slips further behind. Equity is not a distraction, it is a federal requirement, and a moral one. Cost matters, but so does meeting 21st-century safety, seismic, and economic standards, and that takes more than waving at “cheaper” mystery options.

Leadership is measured by the bridges you build, not the ones you burn. We either move forward together, or we watch opportunity bypass us, one semi-truck at a time.

I concur Susan. I would rather vote for a large jar of mayonnaise than this Mayor.

Of course, the only difference between a large jar of mayonnaise and Bart Hanson is the large jar….

This coming election is going to, seemingly, be a case of voting AGAINST Mayor annie, not necessarily FOR the other candidate. Ya know… you vote the lesser of two evils… like in Nov. ’24.

Number 9: There are significant questions about the ability to drill pilings down to bedrock for the bridge, based on the results of test bores done on Hayden Island some time ago. The entire multiple year engineering plan needs much closer scrutiny to bring it closer to reality. The estimated time to finish the pilings alone is completely unrealistic.

Number 10: If the IBR could not get funded under the Biden administration, there isn’t a hoot in the holler’s chance of getting it done under President Trump. Sean Duffy is an impressive Secretary of Transportation…light years beyond Pothole Pete in abilities. Once Duffy and the other Feds start looking closely at this fiasco, its demise will hopefully follow shortly thereafter.

Number 11: The IBR fiasco needs to be laid right in the lap of Mayor Annie, and force her to defend it every time she makes another campaign appearance. She is the one pushing Loot Rail, the IBR, and bullying C-Tran to endorse it. Her reelection campaign is the perfect time to hold her accountable for this and many other things she has imposed upon residents.
