Wells Says:
I was only able to catch the first 15 minutes - seating was full house, no standing - but it was enough to strengthen my argument for Charlie Hales as the best transit advocate and transit-oriented development expert. Eileen complained that our streetcar system is wasteful and inferior to buses. Jefferson Smith led with general political issues rather than the transportation issue. Give the first 15 minutes to Charlie.
