"People on the right, people on the left, we have the common goal of moving people with transit, but doing it in the most cost-effective manner, in fact, in a manner that may end up costing no government subsidy, it may end up paying for itself."
Jeral Poskey, former executive at Taxi 2000 and former head of the PRT-promoting Advanced Transit Association (ATRA) is a contributor to John McCain's campaign... but I remember when he defended Dean Zimmermann on the Minneapolis Issues forum:

I hesitate to re-open this wound to the city, but W. Brandon Lacy Campos wrote
something that has been disturbing me for the last several days: "I have to say that I am a bit saddened by Barb Lickness's Verdict Party taking place

This is akin to celebrating Hurricane Katrina because you really disliked FEMA director Michael Brown. I'm sorry, but I don't see how anyone can delight in a verdict that paints a stain on the city of Minneapolis.
I'm curious who else was at this Verdict Party. Who else put their personal grudges and grievances ahead of the city's well being?
Fortunately, I recently stepped down from my position on the board of the NorthLoop Neighborhood Association, as I would have found it very hard to work professionally with Barb knowing that she could find such enjoyment in a dark day in our city's history.
I hope I am wrong and read that out of context, but these are the thoughts that
have been burning my brain the last several days.
