Sound Transit's no new taxes budget   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #18799 of 18822 |

If Sound Transit Prop 1 wins on November 4th, ST starts collecting two
million dollars per day in taxes.

If Sound Transit Prop 1 loses on November 4th, ST continues to collect
one million dollars per day in taxes.

I've posted a side-by-side comparison of the two scenarios at

Take your pick, and vote!

P.S. Divide the Prop 1 Yes metric of $69 tanks of gas into the first
year of Sound Transit's additional tax take of $373 million and you get
5.4 million tanks of gas. How does that come out to be an average of
one tank per adult in the first year? Is the region that populated?
Another example of Sound Transit math.

P.P.S. And don't forget that the first million dollars per day ST is
already collecting pays for that light rail train to the airport and all
the other services provided to date that have brought on bragging about
Sound Transit's 14 million boardings in all of 2007 after 11 years of
effort. Weekday travel on all modes around Puget Sound is about 11
million one-way trips per day.
