Shock. Amazement.

Tulsa passed all four tax increases. And it was about a 3/5ths majority on them all.

I'm stunned. I thought this one was going down in flames, but something got 60,000 people to show up and vote it in.

One advantage Tulsa has over Seattle is once a tax increase is passed, the talking period is over and the building begins, where in Seattle the talking has hardly even begun. If you could build a light rail line with talk, the Link would be running right now and would have already been extended to the airport.

  1. I too am pleased that Tulsa is ponying up the cash to get back on the rails. Impressive.

    I'm also puzzled by why Denver's arch rival in the quality of life race Seatle can't seem to get public transport right. Denver is in the process of building its third and fourth light rail lines. Come on, Seattle.
