Hwy 130 lane expansion mid-2013

Details? I have the same details you and your committee produced. You surveyed about 2% of HPP residents. Of those, about 88 expressed reservations about PMAR- about 1% of HPP residents. On that basis the letter from your HPP PMAR committee told the governor that the trend in HPP was against having PMAR pass through HPP. 1% does not a trend make - unless you want to misrepresent the facts.

On top of that you focused a substantial portion of the polling on residents living along a practical route through HPP. That was funny because your group, with you as spokesman to the Action Committe, stated to the AC that you couldn't come to any conclusion until you knew the proposed route though HPP. So if you didn't know what route might be used how did you focus on residents living in a proposed route area as stated? Very funny business.

Pretty slim conclusions from your committee. Nothing slim and vague about what I have stated. It is backed up by your testimony and the written record.

Using that "survey" to support the governor not releasing $1.5 million to study the community need and support for PMAR was skewed.

For someone with a PhD to use such slim data to support a conclusion was appalling.

Have a nice day.
