Scheduled to appear in favor is Steve Schopp, a Clackamas County
activist who worked on the ballot measure to stop the Portland to
Milwaukie Light Rail Line. Crino was asked to speak but said he will
yield his place to John Charles of the Cascade Policy Institute, a
well-known local light rail opponent.
Opposing the measure will
be previous Tigard mayor and current Metro Councilor Craig Dirksen,
along with Tigard City Council member Jason Snider. Also scheduled are
Tualatin Mayor Lou Ogden and Tualatin City Council member Joelle Davis.
Ballot Measure 34-210 is not simply an advisory vote but adopts a public policy opposed to new high-capacity transit project.
Vote could stymie area transit projects

Good ol' Craig viewed Tigard as a stepping-stone to greater political ambitions; he's been pushing light rail for years. And now he's on the Metro council. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
