All good questions that some of us should perhaps direct towards Sound Transit and towards Phillips and Constantine's offices... I'm a little cynical at the...
Michael, gauging Sound Transit's sincerity about studying the Green Line corridor is a bit beside the point now. No matter what happens to ST2, building real...
I disagree, Mitch... This isn't like deciding to vote for Transit Now and "settling" for increased buses. Supporting ST2 for a mere "promise" of solving our...
Let me try to state this another way. I don't care if Sound Transit has never promised to build rail along the Green Line corridor. I don't care if they have...
That sounds fine, Mitch, but there's absolutely no logical reason to support your statement. There is really very little reason for the ST Board to have...

Mitch, Michael, Again we face this strange American-only concept that we can have either transit OR roads. Most countries devote a larger share of tax...
Cleve, I happen to think your points are much more valid than Michael's because they concern the coupling of ST2 and RTID rather than opposing ST2 itself...
Will, question. Who's pretending the massively growing neighborhoods of Ballard and West Seattle won't need more transit solutions as they densify? ... ...
