Sierra Club Criticizes Irons?

I guess this is supposed to be a hit piece on David Irons. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Sierra Club put this out on David Irons, but from where I sit this could almost be a press release by the Irons Campaign.

2000 - Opposed increased subsidies for Metro with no increase in bus fares. - Evidently the Sierra Club is keeping with the attitude that us low-lifes in the general population who drive our car to work by ourselves are worthy of disdain and should be punished by further subsidising mass transportation for the small percentage of those who actually use it. How many lane miles would you get for $40 per family of four?

2002 - He (Irons) championed a plan to ammend the county's concurrency traffic rules to let rural residents subdivide their land. - It is there property isn't it? If we spent that $40 per family of four mentioned above to increase capacity on our area roads, would that not help mitigate the traffic issues? (The circular arguments of the Sierra Club and other environmentalists is mind boggling)

2003 - ...Irons said he believes roads have been underfunded compared to transit. OK, I am trying to figure out how that is a bad thing.

2004 - Irons has repeatedly been a road block to...the critical areas ordinances. Again, and that is a bad thing?

Can someone please help me figure this out? This is a perfect example of how out of touch these wackos are. The arrogance is astounding. Were I with the Irons campaign, I would make an ad using the points they use and spoof the press release. Talk about pissing off some libs.
