Issue Position: Car Tabs

Issue Position

Last year I talked a lot about the unwelcome hike in our car tabs and the Republicans' "simple fix" bill that looked more like a guaranteed lawsuit, costing us more and doing nothing to lower car tabs. I also told you I was committed to solving this problem without forcing Sound Transit to cancel or delay voter-approved projects. I sponsored legislation that would have accomplished both goals, but it did not make it out of the legislature this year. I am continuing to work on it over the interim, looking for creative solutions that puts money back into the pockets of taxpayers while maintaining the integrity of the voter-approved transit projects.
