* Sound Transit may ask voters to increase the sales tax to pay for more buses and rail, but has not yet decided to do so. A headline on Page B1 Friday mischaracterized action taken so far by the transit agency.

* The last letter written by Snohomish Marine Capt. Jeffrey Starr was published after his death in Iraq. A portion of the letter first appeared in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The Herald featured Starr’s entire letter Sept. 18 in a story on Page A1. A Page A1 story Thursday incorrectly reported that the letter had first appeared in The Herald.
