Are some streetcar backers getting anxious?  Comments from Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune seem to suggest so:

 Portune-OKI Streetcar

Portune was responding to remarks from Jeff Cappel during the public hearing portion of Wednesday's commission meeting.  Cappel suggested the $4 million be retracted and put to other projects.

**UPDATE**

Via e-mail, Commissioner Portune says "I have never voiced support for the streetcar and am, at best, ambivalent about it."

To clarify, when I said "streetcar backers", I was referring to OKI, since they did pledge some money for the project.
