I think it is pointless to engage him when he tries to personally smear you.
If you have following Brian Peoples postings over the last few years you would know he is a smear merchant and attacks anyone that disagrees with him. His elitist and derogatory past comments about the mayor and residents of Watsonville were disgraceful. Here is his latest posting about Iowa Pacific.
If you have followed my postings and photo essays over the last five years you would know I document the Santa Cruz Branch Line and support the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network. I provide facts about the branch line, its operator, the Santa Cruz & Monterey Bay Railway and the property owner, the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission. When I speak with county residents I explain what the SCCRTC is doing with the rail corridor and I listen to their thoughts. I respect their opinions and I don’t debate their position. I just provide facts and let them decide.
