Sam-

First time checking out your blog.

I voted for you because I thought you would fight to contain these Tram-sized boondogles. You are showing a little more Mayor Katz than fiscal conservative on this issue.

Why are you fighting to keep this project alive?

Also, why did the city Council decide to move the tram off to a private company? (Please don't tell me this nonprofit is actually public, we've seen how that goes with even the PDC's operations which actually are public).

Lately its seemed that the city of Portland wants to own anything it can (PGE, Street Cars, etc...), this doesn't jive with what a regular news reader has come to expect.
