"Don't take any wooden Nickels" was an admonition to be careful in your dealings because someone might try to pay you with worthless money, writes Dan McLaughlin. Wooden coins were actually used in trade in America in certain limited circumstances on a local level. A contemporary equivalent could be "don't take any steel pennies." The United States House Of Representatives has already passed a bill, HR 5512, authorizing the Treasury Department to substitute steel for the nickel and copper now used in American pennies and Nickels.

We're at lunch at the trial, and the City of Seattle, it seems could use a break. Specifically, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels was grilled for about an hour by Brad Keller, lead attorney for the Sonics. Nickels admitted that the current lease agreement between the city and the team is financially straining and a money loser. He also acknowledged the city had been working with Wally Walker as a go-between with a local, private investment group to try and coax Bennett's group to sell the group to a local ownership group, which included the strategy of getting the team to lose money by forcing them to honor the lease and stay another two years. While Keller seemed confident and compelling in his opening statement and cross examination of Nickels, attorneys for the city seemed to stumble on themselves a couple times when attorneys for the Sonics objected to exhibits or statements. As promised, U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman has run a tight ship, asking a member of the public to sit down when he tried to switch to a different seat, and admonishing another member of the public for coughing while Keller spoke. About 15 Sonics fans showed up to view the trail, a much smaller number than expected. The court is about half full, with members of the media taking up the largest section of seats. Nickels will be on the witness stand again when the trial resumes at 1:30 p.m. ...

Recently Bellevue developer Kemper Freeman Junior and his gang launched a new radio ad campaign that attempts to convince the public we should not build rapid transit. Today Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels responded with this statement: We know who is behind the curtain of the Eastside Transportation Association – the same people whose only answer to the problems of climate pollution and congestion are more freeways, more traffic, and more frustration. Under Sound Transit’s new proposal, light rail would be extended to Bellevue, as well as Lynnwood and Federal Way. Those who are lining up against this common-sense measure are stuck in their own personal Oz, a place where our most pressing challenges can be wished away by laying more asphalt. This November, we look forward to presenting our bus, commuter and light rail solution – a way forward that will cost the average driver the equivalent of one tank of gas a year. Because we know building a better future takes more than clicking your heels and hoping our gridlock will go away. The Dino Rossi/Tim Eyman/Kemper Freeman Junior approach of building more lanes and more highways is not a sustainable solution to our transportation crisis. Their proposals would waste hundreds of millions, even billions, of dollars on miles of new pavement that will not improve anyone's commute. Puget Sound needs transportation choices and a rail backbone. Kemper's distortions aside, we can't afford the staggerin ...
