Documenting Seattle's Next Infrastructure Upgrade

Sound Transit Vote


Posted by Frank on July 03 2008

As we know, Sound Transit is debating whether to go back to the ballot in 2008 or 2010 with a new expansion package.

I hear that Sound Transit CEO Joni Earl currently does not have the votes to go back to the ballot in 2008. Snohomish County Exec Aaron Reardon and King County Exec Ron Sims are both planning on voting "no." Reardon because light rail wouldn't go far enough into Snohomish County, and Sims because he's anti-rail altogether.

Pierce County Exec John Ladenburg, who's running for Attorney General this year, may also vote "no" to avoid any controversy.

Remind me to vote "no" for John Ladenburg as Attorney General, to avoid controversy.

lets have a seattle-only vote!

Is this rumor for reals? How does the voting work on the ST Board anyways?
