Critique the positions of the individuals named in regards to their anti-rail stance and its impact on rail costs, ridership projections and traffic reduction.
believe the dumb ones are slater and roth.  their anti rail positions have caused rail costs to increase by over $2B and now they still want to sabotage rail again.  just vindictive malicious, no class, no shame.  their argument that rail will not reduce traffic is a non-issue, this was recognized in the EIS.  they claim the projected ridership is highly overstated, how do they know?  did they conducts tests?  their arguments are just simply ludicrous based on biased and unsupported opinions.
