At least with Jim Horn, the guy was honest about his opposition to light rail. Clibborn tries to play both sides. And why, you ask? Well, despite the fact MI residents WANT light rail, Clibborn listens to the likes of Kemper Freeman, the Discovery Institute, and other self-serving rich guys who like their SOV access to the HOV lanes on I-90. Clibborn is also a big booster for HOT lanes, where the rich guys get to buy their way into the bus lanes. One the driving public gets wind of how congestion pricing will affect them, I would guess Clibborn will be tossed out on the street. Right now she can make nebulous comments in support of the concept, and lie about how buses+HOT lanes are a viable alternative to rail. www.issaquahpress.com/2008/10/22/city-legislators-look-into-an-empty-purse/ Clibborn dislikes grade-separated rail, 'cuz you can't drive your car on tracks. Very progressive of her, indeed.

Clibborn dislikes grade-separated rail, ‘cuz you can’t drive your car on tracks. Very progressive of her, indeed.

This is against the wishes of Seattle, this keeps people on the Viaduct beyond its useful engineering lifespan and it puts a giant question mark over hundreds of properties downtown including the Pike Place Market.
