Four articles this week that followup on some stories we’ve been following:
First, Mike Lindblom summarizes the oral arguments before the Supreme Court in Freeman v. Gregoire. It’ll probably be months before they release a decision.
Also, we have two reports from the waterfront beauty pageant Wednesday. Cienna Madrid was fairly impressed, but Roger Valdez really wasn’t. A roundup of reactions here.
I thought Lindblom wasn’t being fair to the agency’s arguments. Mr. Brown was articulate and to the point.
Can anyone summarize in layman’s terms why the “17th amendment” (or whatever it is called) is not going to be a problem? TIA
Sid – Last year Ben debunked all of the anti-railers’ arguments. Follow the “F. v. G.” link above for the details. HCT has been planned for in that corridor for decades.
