The three issues that [Republican John Vihstadts] running on - TopicsExpress

The three issues that [Republican John Vihstadts] running on primarily are the street car - being against it of course, the aquatic center - being against that of course, and continuing to talk about this quote mmillion-dollar bus stop, that he is of course against. Against against against, do you hear the pattern? Let me start with the aquatic center, because this is the easiest one that just completely makes no sense. The Arlington voters approved a $50 million bond saying that we want an aquatic center here in the county. Well, it costs a little bit more than we thought...so what did the county board do, they pulled back...put this on hold...John Vihstadt...wants to use this as an issue in his campaign, so its politics rather than policy. Then we talk about this quote million-dollar bus stop. This was through federal stimulus funding, and it was run by WMATA, not Arlington County...[the board is] making sure that future bus stops will not cost this amount. But to try to pin this on Arlington County or on Alan Howze as some sort of example of financial mismanagement is really deceptive and is incorrect. Then finally about the streetcar, good people can disagree on this issue. However...as far as the funding differential goes...this is all dedicated transit money, so its NOT as if you can use this money by not doing the streetcar for something like schools...John Vihstadt doesnt say that, but he keeps saying heres what the priorities are, why is the county spending $500 million - I dont know where he gets that money- on a streetcar when they have all kinds of other needs out there? Well, the truth of that matter is its dedicated transportation funding...its certainly an incorrect [implication] to say that you could use the money for something else...Every study thats been done...have showed that its a multipler on investment...Good people could differ on this, but I think its unfortunate that the facts are being distorted in this race. bluevirginia.us/diary/12284/video-arlington-dems-call-out-republican-john-vihstadts-distortions-inaccuracies-negativity
