Fair questions.  Scream "bully" all you want or deal with the data.  I just spent the last few months running gassers against tough, data-based questions from a Washington Policy Center pundit for transit.  I didn't scream "bully" when I didn't like the answer, I got better data.  I also exposed some dark money.  By doing so, I helped get Sound Transit 3 across the line.
