“Local government finances are so dire, it is time to consider — and enact — an annual fee on pedestrians.

A $25 annual fee for walking is a natural outgrowth of the enormous amounts of trails, sidewalks and accommodations the region has made for pedestrians. Those funds would be useful for local cities and King County. It would also make pedestrians true members of the world of transportation, rather than free riders on the tax rolls.”

Sound ridiculous doesn’t it.
