No reliable mechanism, at least. State governments are notorious for spending money on the one thing they know best: interstate highways. How about each state spends it's own money only on their portion of the interstate? After all, according to you, the Federal government shouldn't pay for the interstate system at all, since each state should have some mechanism to completely fund the local section of the interstate and highway system. And as soon as the motorists can pay for just the interstate system, which ONLY motorized vehicles can use, then maybe you can all start whining about "cyclistas" wanting someone else to foot the bill for the non-existent damage they do to the roads, as well as all of those expensive to maintain bike paths and lanes! Numbers don't lie: motorists benefit the most from socialist practices, and have always done so while attempting to paint transit users as freeloaders. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

Re: Tenants, City in Talks About Rental Housing Inspection Program

Redmond Eastside — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:01:00 -0000

In other housing news, low income housing advocates won a victory Tuesday night when the Redmond City Council voted unanimously to bar discrimination against tenants only on the basis of Section 8 status. One of the apartment complexes in Redmond refused to renew the leases of existing Section 8 tenants, even though their rent was paid up to date and they were following the rules. These evictions led to the proposal to bring Redmond into line with Seattle and Bellevue and outlaw this discrimination.

The presence of members of the faith community and the testimony from disabled, evicted tenants helped to achieve the victory. There was a good turnout from members of the community.19 people spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance.

Tell us the percentage of women who receive the executive salaries (such as those at UW) that nobody ever cuts. If they cut the salaries of people earning more than 100K, those people will still have a place to live, food, a vehicle and health care. If they cut the social services programs for the needy, such people will not have basic necessities. To pull the plug on the necessities of the needy while failing to inconvenience executives is unjust.

The executives are said to have been promoted in a merit system. But that argument can be turned around: is anyone going to claim that those in need are lacking in merit and therefore do not deserve to have a roof over their heads, food and medical care?

The budget cuts should be targeted at luxuries first and necessities second. It's important to see real shared sacrifice, not just the most needy having to sacrifice their basic subsistence while the executives sacrifice *nothing.* This problem is occurring all over the country, not just here.

Well reasoned. Because if the money doesn't come from the Federal government, there is absolutely no other mechanism for funding local transportation.

Ergo a woman governor claiming to support gender equity has overseen a series of budget cuts that have had a disproportionate impact upon women. Maybe she can run for President and do the same at the national level?

This is the biggest piece of s**t bill to have come from any party, at any time. Eliminate guaranteed funding for transit, walking and biking? Well, I guess the Republicans are so nostalgic for the 1950's that they are bound and determined to force this nation back there. What absolute idiots...
