University Place has been trying to get removed from the RTA for a while now. Looks like a perfect opportunity to do the same for the entire county that DID vote against it initially anyway. Another check mark for “voting works.”
Inept management, no accountability, and unlimited access to public money have resulted in this debacle.
We were bilked into funding this transit behemoth for the purpose of transportation options aside from I 5.
What we are actually paying for is a self-perpetuating bureaucracy that has put diversity, equity, and inclusion way ahead of building transportation infrastructure.
I have a lot of personal experience with this outfit, that is worthy of a deep investigation.
Any time you’re ready Councilman Mello.
