KaskadskyjKozak Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 It sure did for my fucking light rail!!!! Scott, it's the thought the counts! We need light rail. So if we talk about it, and raise taxes, and attack Republicans, why, that's all that matters! Don't ask for RESULTS and don't dare question how the money (YOUR money) is spent, and the project (mis)managed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineK Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I forget what the fee was, but I remember driving across 520 with my folks and them paying a toll. The toll was there to pay for the bridge. It's really not too surprising that paying for a new bridge means a new toll. Hell there were tolls to drive across I-90 a long long time ago. Couple that with the trend in Europe and the Eastern US it ain't too surprising that there's talk of tolls on a new bridge. Just wait in 15 years it'll cost you a fee to drive to Snoqualmie Pass.

STP Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I wonder how much the city nets with that tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 A quick search found this arlicle in the PI The effort grew out of a proposal to build a third city dump in Georgetown. Residents and businesses in the south Seattle neighborhood raised a stink over the idea. So the City Council commissioned a five-month study by an independent consultant to review Seattle's refuse. It didn't specifically say whether a new transfer station would be needed if trash volumes shrank, but it did provide strategies and estimated costs for reducing waste -- including scrapping plastic shopping bags and foam containers. There are different ideas about how those reductions might look, and the City Council likely won't make a decision on the strategy and transfer station until July. There's the possibility of outright bans of the bags and containers. Or shoppers could pay a premium for using plastic -- or even paper -- bags. Foam makers could be required to take back their products for disposal or recycling. Other governments already have restrictions on these items. Portland outlawed foam to-go containers nearly 20 years ago. McDonald's voluntarily began phasing out its use of foam burger boxes in 1991. In April, San Francisco approved a ban on plastic bags at the checkout stands of large groceries and pharmacies. Before the new rules passed, city leaders gave out 1,000 free canvas shopping bags. IKEA started charging 5 cents for plastic bags at its furniture and housewares stores earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The Seattle Monorail project collected $200 million dollars in taxes and spent it all. They ran up a further $110 million dollars in debt which I believe we are still paying for. We have NOTHING to show for it. This is shameful.

olyclimber Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 that doesn't sound that communist to me. good commies know that that greater good is served by their proletariat struggles. so they must all be bad commies in Seattle, and not the good kind? or perhaps it is just that with politics aside all of Seattle is populated by assholes?
