True enough there is stringent acounting practices in the current referendum, but no accountablilty as in no penalties.

How much do you think that project I mentioned above will cost, and how much of that was 50+ engineers looking at the same plans multiple times because of their own ineffiecency? Lets talk about sound transit or the money that the ferry system can't account for over the last 10 years, or the fact that DSHS is over staffed by as much as 30% since welfare reform. Where do you want to start? I am sure that I have only scratched the surface. Maybe this waste won't solve the traffic problem, but it would be nice to get something tangible for that money.

I learned today that the term of the gas tax that R51 will create is 10 years. After 10 years the tax will not be removed, and that money will no longer be allocated for R51 specific projects. If that isn't taking the shaft I don't know what is.
