I'm on Queen Anne (also the 43rd) and don't get anything out of it for my neighborhood. Those downtown and in the UW will now be able to go to Bellevue or Northgate, but it's not like they weren't getting light rail already. I think it more has to do with general mindset. If you live in a dense area already, you're probably less likely to believe that the answer to our problems is more cars.

When they come out, transit supporters need to thank the precious few legislators who supported Prop 1 this year - and remind the anti's just how out of step they are with their own district. That means: Frank "freeways forever" Chopp Judy "light rail over my dead body" Clibborn Deborah "I've always got a better idea" Eddy Mary Margaret "they're putting WHAT on my bridge" Haugen I'm sure there were plenty more Eastside Kempercrats who played their own games with fading freeway dreamin', but those were the few Dems I've been following since Olympia's RTID debacle last year. Suburban Democratic wimps will forever be trying to find new ways of steering transit dollars into their local chambers' pet freeway projects. Don't let 'em do it. And find some real Democrats to run against them next time. And tell the environmental groups you belong to that they should stop funding sell-out Democrats-in-name-only.
Final legislative and precinct numbers are due in early January. When they come out, transit supporters need to thank the precious few legislators who supported Prop 1 this year – and remind the anti’s just how out of step they are with their own district.

That means:

Frank “freeways forever” Chopp
Judy “light rail over my dead body” Clibborn
Deborah “I’ve always got a better idea” Eddy
Mary Margaret “they’re putting WHAT on my bridge” Haugen

I’m sure there were plenty more Eastside Kempercrats who played their own games with fading freeway dreamin’, but those were the few Dems I’ve been following since Olympia’s RTID debacle last year. Suburban Democratic wimps will forever be trying to find new ways of steering transit dollars into their local chambers’ pet freeway projects. Don’t let ‘em do it. And find some real Democrats to run against them next time. And tell the environmental groups you belong to that they should stop funding sell-out Democrats-in-name-only.

Prop 1 passed in Snohomiah County but failed in Pierce albeit barely.

We don't get much from Prop 1, but we sure helped get it passed! Shows how forward thinking the "West Side" is :)

What was really funny was that our voter sheet listed the household of a prominent engineer who contributed technical analysis to the "No to Prop 1" campaign. We ran out of time before we got to his house. I think the signs I put up at the park & ride and my yard helped in the 1st District.
