Voters prefer fewer buses to higher tax

Published 9:00 pm Wednesday, September 5, 2001

When the voters passed Initiative 695, they expected cutbacks in many services including transit. Raising the sales tax in Snohomish County to the highest in the state is not what the voters really want at this time. We have sufficient transit to handle the rush hours and do not need near-empty buses at other hours including Sundays. There are better things to spend our tax dollars on at this time!
