The Columbia River Crossing Project

As some might have seen me post on several local blogs and the local snooze media, I believe in a project that people can get their hands on, that is effective, efficient and reliable. I won't say every project is one hundred percent perfect or that people will ALL want it the same or its perfect.

What I am looking into and desiring is to see what people really, really think about this project. And the facts surround it. I'm not really interested in th same group that has complained vociferously the same lines and issues since this project started in 2004 or so.

I will say I personally have issues with how the public was treated and how it was formed. And it is seems like some of the local politicians don't give a damn about listening to the locals and how they feel.

I am still watching the Wasington state legislature and wondering, with a two billion dollar deficit, five megaprojects with three being in Seattle, one in spokane and the CRC down here, where are they going to get the money for this project? That deficit is one part a mandate from the state sumpreme court and the other a financial hole that is about a billion dollars each.
