There’s yet another salvo in the will-they-or-won’t-they monorail soap opera. The city council decided not to follow the Mayor’s demand to force a vote on the issue this November. Instead, the council will consider a plan that gives the Seattle Monorail Project until December to write their own ballot measure for the February elections:

Godden said today’s decision should not be seen as pro-SMP. The council avoided a November revote only “because that would be a weak thing to do,” she said. “Either the monorail gets its act together or goes out of business.” [seattletimes]

Was that bit about “weak” a slap at Nickels? Who knows — but suddenly city politics seem intriguing, don’t they?
