We really, really, really, REALLY want to tax ourselves here for expansion of Light Rail through Sound Transit for both our Ballard and West Seattle areas. Both are heavily geographically impacted by water and we need that static, fixed capability in the long term. Sound Transit asked Olympia for $15B in authority to take to the November 2016 ballot but so far they've only gotten from the Republicans in the Senate $11B on the transportation package.
We are every year increasingly more desperate here. What can and will you do to get us that $15 billion, or more (more lets us move ahead farther and faster), before this becomes a transportation crisis?

Hi Governor,
As a Seattle resident I had one question for you:
