Referendum 51: It’s time we pay our bill. We have to pay the mortgage, we have to pay the PUD bill. Now it’s time to tough it out and pay for safer roads and reduced traffic congestion. There are more than 2,000 high accident locations and more than 900 bridges the need repair. R-51 helps fix the most dangerous roads and bridges all over the state.
Road rage has escalated as traffic congestion has taken its toll on our nerves. Traffic congestion costs the state and us billions of dollars a year. We must fix out state’s transportation problem to keep jobs and employers.
Things have only gotten worse since we blindly followed Tim Eyman and I-695 and took away some of the revenues to deal with these problems. R-51 is full of checks and balances. The revenues from R-51 will be deposited into transportation-only accounts. R-51 provides a reasonable way to relieve congestion by funding both public transit and road projects.
So it’s time we pay our bill to make our roads and highways safer and less congested. We need to support Referendum 51.
