Two years ago, Measure R, a ballot initiative to fund a commuter rail system in Sonoma and Marin Counties failed by less than 1.5%. This fall, Measure Q revisits that issue with a revised proposal to build and operate the SMART train between Cloverdale and Larkspur. Sonoma County voters have generally backed the measure while opposition remains concentrated in Marin County. Both sides on Measure Q took part in this live and lively debate in the KRCB-FM studios on Thursday evening, Oct. 2.
