Every time someone says we continually vote for no new taxes or lower taxes, I think they don't have a grasp of how we actually vote. We continually vote yes on school levies, we vote yes to keep medic 1, ocassionally we send a message NO vote.

People are tired of a straight 5-4 party line vote by Seattle City Council.

When the voters initially voted yes for Sound Transit it was sold as XXXXX billions from Seattle to the U District. It turned out to be a line from Seattle to almost the airport. Our traffic issues aren't from downtown to the airport yet we spent billions on a line that doesn't help commuters on the I-5 corridor.

Even when we voted for a line from Seattle to the U District, the EIS said it would remove ZERO cars from the highways. It would only switch people from buses to rail. Tell me how that helps anyone...?

We have one of the highest fuel taxes in the country which means the people who drive the most contribute the most.
