   Years ago Campbell’s crime family setatd they would never go the light rapid transit route, he always insisted it would be Skytrain only, no matter the huge cost and less efficiency of obsolete Skytrain. It’s all about cost over-runs for his cronies and huge amounts of money to be made for Campbell and the mob. They would not be able to do it with only an honest 5 million dollar system.In the last municipal election in Surrey I voted for a kid named Paul Hillsdon, only 18 years old at the time but a whiz on light rapid transit. I was very impressed. Unfortunately people don’t want to vote for an 18 year old even if he is brilliant.When Dianne Watts suddenly quit Translink, I believe last year, I knew something was up. She was the head of the Mayors council at Translink. When she quit she also made sure her selected replacement got the job….a secret deal between her and Translink. The other mayors were very angry at her doing that because they all should have had a chance at the job. I think the Evergreen Line may be one of the reasons she quit, she wouldn’t want to fight a losing battle with the Campbell crime family.With crime boss Campbell and Translink run by the crime boss it does not surprise me at all that the Light Rapid Transit will be buried forever, or at least for as long as we have a criminal running the show. That is if Campbell doesn’t put us another few billions $$$$$ in the hole and do it his way, making sure Light Rapid Transit will never see the light of day….and south of the Fraser still having to pay huge tolls to travel to points north and to work. It all helps him to eliminate the middle class and pay his cronies for the huge cost of his ‘bad deal’ bridges.It will be interesting to know what Dianne Watts will have to say about this. She should be raging mad and if she raises our taxes sky high to pay for Campbell’s version she can be assured she may well not get in again, that is if the uncaring electorate does what they should do. We have already paid huge taxes and a lot of it goes to Translink so Dianne Watts will have to explain that too, or more likely…..just stay quiet about everything.
