I-912 will be on the ballot. The Legislature, as a whole, finally did its job and stood up. And now the Tim Eymans of the state will again try to block us from moving forward. While I-912 has a better than average chance of passing what will that get us? I personally would agree with others who are in favor of tolls on I-90, the Highway 520 bridge and the Alaskan Way viaduct. I don’t think the state should have ever taken the toll off of 520.
Our elected officials finally passed something, which should be applauded. Maybe it is not perfect, but we have to start somewhere and if we keep trashing every plan how will the roads ever get fixed? We are going to have to pay for it, why not a gas tax? I will vote against I-912 and I will also vote against Sen. Rosemary Mcauliffe and Rep. Mark Ericks for failing to be responsive to their constituents during this last session and for not supporting the roadway needs in their districts. I would suggest that if others are unhappy with the outcome of the state’s legislative sessions that they follow suit and vote out the representatives who don’t perform. Let’s get some of the transportation problems fixed.
