What? You don't think that the Seattle region should give a private company $80-$100 million to run commuter rail trains? But it's what every other city does! I mean, dontcha all know that NYC-MTA is owned by Warren Buffet, and Bill Gates owns Muni, and Paul Allen runs TRE, DART, and Metra, and Ted Turner just bought MARTA....
Oh wait. They're publicly owned. Cause, uh... transit... doesn't... make money?
I don't know about you but when I see the name "Tom Payne" I start smelling chicken of the sea.
