Over 100 years ago, in the waning days of the Robber Barons, the copper companies did what they did for profit as they had a right to do.

They represented their own interests and potential profits against what was then a new and unknown technology such as Tesla's demonstration to transmit electricity without wires. See: [http://www.democracynature.org/dn/vol4/raptis_technology.htm].

100 years ago, the robber barons ruled almost supreme whereas, today politicians and administrators control the introduction of new systems or choosing between two competing old systems.

Our elected officials have a duty to examine this new magnetic system of transportation which is not in the same state of just theoretical development as was Tesla's at the time of the conflict with the copper companies. The ITC is clearly in a more advanced state waiting for a practical application. All of the ITC system components exist and are not theoretical in nature.

While special interest groups have vested interests to resist the building and implementation of a magnetic railway, elected, appointed and contracted officials, who represent or work for the local governments, have a duty to make a peace with competing special interests and their supporters such as those who favor a Monorail system and those who favor a Light Rail system. They have an obligation and duty to work out the feasibility of implementing a trial magnetic Rail system at no public expense.

The ITC Advocacy group in Washington State feels that men and women with courage need to act in the region's best interest by examining the ITC proposal for a Magnetic System before $4.5 Billion is spent to build a light rail system that is obsolete before ground breaks.

The ITC Advocacy group in Washington State understands numerous benefits to a high speed transit MAGLEV system (i.e - in excess of 200 MPH), one of which is that it would become feasible for a company like Boeing, Microsoft, other key industries in the Washington State "urban" centers without having to worry about not finding sufficient labor when skilled labor can be transported daily to and from the Puget Sound area (and elsewhere - perhaps from Spokane or the Tri Cities) with little impact to increasing meaningful congestion either in the Puget Sound area where the roads are congested.

Congestion would be relieved in the urban areas if sufficient labor, who use existing freeways in today's business climate, would not use the same roads that they use today to work in the inner cities.
