In Bill Wald’s letter of May 9, he suggests that the highway mess we face this summer here in Everett was planned to make voters more sympathetic to voting for a transportation tax increase (“Highway 529: Road work prior to vote seems planned”). If Mr. Wald had been reading his Herald faithfully, he would know that the closing of the bridge was announced at least two years ago.
The project was planned long before the Legislature oted to put a transportation tax increase on the ballot. Mr. Wald can vote against the tax plan if he wishes, but his reasoning, as expressed in his letter, is not valid.
