Seattle voters approve largest tax package in city history
Story by Spencer Pauley • 7h


(The Center Square) – Seattle voters have approved the largest tax proposal in city history, with revenue going toward transportation needs.

Tuesday night results show the levy receiving 67% of collected votes.

The eight-year levy package totals $1.55 billion. It is expected to cost a median homeowner in Seattle approximately $546 a year.
 
The biggest portion of generated funding – $330 million – would go toward arterial roadway maintenance. Approximately 15 major corridors are planned to be repaved.

Another $115 million would go toward transit improvements on streets with high ridership bus routes and create better access to Sound Transit light rail stations.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Liberals must get a warm, fuzzy feeling when they can give their hard-earned income to a government to be squandered. :tongue2:

You don't understand.  They're BETTER than you.  They CARE more than you.

Actually, that is the level at which most taxation should take place.  I often vote for local tax increases when they are justified by projects I'd like to see accomplished in the town (city under Kansas law) where I live, even though I abhor most state and all Federal tax increases.
