City Hall indulges crackpot

Clay Chastain wasted a lot of time yesterday with light rail his pipe dream that will never happen . . . More than anything, his cavalier attitude about completely ignoring the minority community and leaving them with nothing but the scraps of his "plan" is indicative of so many light rail lovers.

Sharon Sanders Brooks asked whether any of her inner-city district would be included in the light rail. She was troubled when Chastain said no. He emphasized that her district would benefit from bus routes and electric shuttles that would carry riders to the light-rail system.

Eh, the only rail I'm interested in is the one they eventually ride him out of town on when he sues the city . . . Too bad the media seemed to buy his line about not getting into an adversarial relationship when his plan is ultimately rejected and at the very least changed dramatically, the fact is . . . If you take him at his word . . . He promises nothing less than a full tilt, expensive lawsuit should City Hall veer from his "vision" - a term that crazy people and peyote smoking Native Americans use along with development dunces like Chastain.
