Low income, retired or fixed income people are least likely to be able to afford a new fuel efficient car."

This is bull. There are PLENTY of cheap, used fuel efficient cars - they weren't invented last year. I drive a 1987 Subaru Justy that gets 35-50 mpg. The first VW rolled off the line in 1936!


Eric is just pulling at straws. Nickels is one of the best mayors this city has had.....in fact, WA state and the city of Seattle both currently have good gov'ts in place. Right now, there must at least 15 cranes hovering over the center of downtown......the city's employment, its tax base and its population are all growing. An entire section of the downtown periphery between downtown and Lake Union is being redone into a medical research and residentual living area with little city funds. Since Nickels has been mayor, many streets pitted with potholes have been resurfaced, public housing torn down and replaced with attractive mixed income housing, tree lined boulevards have been created where there were none before.......paid for by developer dollars......he's done many right things for the city.

Eric hates it that Dems. encourage progress while GOPers steal. ;-)
