    Re: Position 8: I think you have it wrong about Richard McIver being a supporter of the monorail, he has recently stated that supporters have been “drinking the KoolAid”, and he attended the Mayor’s press conference to nix it. Only Robert Rosencrantz is currently supporting the monorail in that particular race. That may change after the primary, but that is the situation today.

    I don’t think that Henry Aronson wrote McIver a check for $650 (the maximum) for nothing:

    Our pick for position 8 was a tortured one to say the least as we saw no perfect answer here, but didn’t want to leave a non-endorsement. Rosencrantz support has always seemed deeply hedged to say the least. We ended up with McIver we believe he will respect our votes should the political situation change. We also liked his stance on Sound Transit cutting the First Hill station and feel his frustration may be something we can tap into in the long term.

    Here’s our original justification.
    No one running for position 8 is much of a supporter of the monorail, but Richard McIver distinguishes himself in two ways. McIver has stated that although he may not agree with the monorail, he will respect the votes of the people if a contract should merit approval. In addition, when the light rail station was being cut from First Hill, he was the lone vote to make sure we bring a transit station to one our densest neighborhoods. As he said at the debate ?ÄúHow can you build mass transit if you?Äôre not going to bring it to the masses??Äù
