Microsoft vs. McGinn on 520
,----[ Quote ]
| Although Microsoft has made its position
| clear on local and regional issues in the
| past, it's uncommon for the company to
| launch a campaign in support of its views.
| Microsoft is holding a news conference on
| the topic later this morning in Redmond,
| and we're planning to attend, assuming we
| can get across the bridge in time.

Seattle hires consultant to look at 520 bridge plan
,----[ Quote ]
| The new 520 bridge project is all about big
| numbers: 115,000 vehicles a day cross the
| bridge, which is twice as many as the
| structure was designed for in 1963.
|
| The cost to replace the 520 bridge is $4.65
| billion. One group, including Seattle Mayor
| Mike McGinn, opposes the current bridge
| replacement plan. They want light rail on the
| new bridge, which is not part of the plan.
|
| "Let's take another, closer look at this
| bridge. Let's take another look at what we're
| planning, and let's get it right, not just
| for ourselves but for our children," said
| McGinn.

Cambridge company says Microsoft lease is unfair
,----[ Quote ]
| InterSystems Corp. CEO Phillip Ragon has called One Memorial Drive home for
| the past 20 years.
|
| But the longtime Cambridge resident and MIT graduate said the buildingâs
| landlord, the Blackstone Group, has a plan in the works to potentially brand
| the 17-story office tower as âthe Microsoft buildingâ by endorsing large
| Microsoft signs to be placed on three exterior sides and leasing out the top
| three floors to the out-of-town competitor.
|
| âA big Microsoft sign across the top might imply that Cambridge is
| Microsoft,â said Ragon, whose sixth-floor conference room features an
| impeccable city view. âIt really sets an image for the city.â
