What a joke! Two years ago we voted down the tunnel option but now that Governor Gregoire has been re-elected it is OK to build a tunnel? And this new technology is going to make it cheaper? I will be very surprised if it actually comes in on budget - or even close to it. And they are going to pay for this in part with an increase in King County car tab tax of 1%. How can that happen - what happened to the $30 car tab initiative??? I can't wait to see what Tim Eyman has to say about that! Going with the most expensive option and the most difficult option during these economic times is surprising. The article and subsequent comments at the Seattle Times was interesting, but I must admit my favorite part (and the part I agree with most) is the last sentence - they do just want a pretty park!
If you are unhappy about this decision - make sure you remember when it is time to vote this Fall. I think that if more people paid attention to what was going on, and got involved in the process, we could change the way things are done around here. I hear enough people call into radio programs and say "How can we change this!" well the answer is - get involved! So that will be something else that I will have to add to my goals for this year. How can I get involved and help make a change to how things are done around here? I will have to find out... Stay tuned!
