Possible Wire Resolution?

Wow! This is huge news. Have we finally found a solution? Check it out:

mikedebonis:

Meg Maguire, anti-streetcar-wires, says she/Cmte of 100 may not oppose @TommyWells bill allowing overhead wires on H St. 2 minutes ago via Seesmic Web

Debonis further reports that the potential lack of opposition is due to the fact that the bill is narrowly tailored to the H Street / Benning Road NE line.

Who is the committee of 100 and why do we care what they think? I looked it up in wikipedia and there is no entry for DC.

What are the pros and cons of having the wire? Our area enjoys no electrical wires and the phone and cable lines are in the alley. Some wires could be okay but what amount are they talking about?

@1st Anon.. I had read that but what does that tell you? A group made up of 100 people exists and apparently has a lot of power.

Let's make a committee of 101 and take them on.
