Opening salvo in the next transportation war

Former state Transportation Secretary Doug MacDonald fills Joel Connelly's P-I column this morning, and you can read it as the opening salvo of Transpo War II, or Who Lost Transit? MacDonald makes it clear why he wore out his welcome in Gov. Chris Gregoire's cabinet, for he is incisively critical of the Proposition 1 measure that the governor tepidly endorsed, and lays the main blame for the transportation meltdown on the head of elected leaders.
