Is it just me or do most of us just want to be able to drive our own cars to wherever we want, whenever we want, without the government telling us we must instead take a bus or train?
Most of us do not want Sound Transit siphoning off public transportation resources to build bad mass transit. We want more roads on which we can drive our personal transportation. We want more capacity to handle greater demand.
We deserve agencies that operate with fiscal responsibility and integrity. Thanks to the current county executive and proponents of Sound Transit, which includes several county executive candidates, a good portion of Snohomish County interests has been sent down the river. At least one Republican candidate wants to be county executive so he can sell out what’s left. Well, we don’t need a new executive who will pander away our best interests. We need an alternative choice. We need Betty Neighbors.
She has the business sense to know an ill conceived and poorly executed idea when she sees one and she sees one in Sound Transit. She has the will to stand up to King County and all the special interests down there. She has the tenacity to demand accountability for those who would tax and spend away our livelihoods. Betty Neighbors understands that Sound Transit is not the only and not the best solution to Snohomish County’s transportation problems. She gets that! How could we possibly survive another county executive who doesn’t?
