Even if he won, nothing will happen.

More importantly he has no idea how to lead. He only works with yes men. People who offer alternate ideas or disagree on pretty much any issue get fired with the quickness under his administration. That doesn't lead to good decision making.

Just an idea, if the Blue Line extension is not going to happen is there any way they could build a commuter rail stop near Wonderland and build a walkway to the Blue Line. It wouldn't be a far walk and could be built in conjunction with some new development at Wonderland where the Dog Track used to be

The point of Blue to Lynn is the rapid service and lower fares that you only get with the subway. Adding a CR stop near Wonderland isn't really a substitute for that.
