Link to me means greater freedom of mobility and the opportunity to get where I want to be more safely. Driving is the least safe, least efficient, least environmentally friendly way to get around. With Link just around the corner from where I live and work, I will spend less time in traffic. I’ll spend less money on fuel. I’ll reclaim more time for reading or getting back to people. And I’ll get even more steps in.

I-1366 represents a false choice that would drag Washington backward. Democrats and Republicans alike agree that we need to be investing in our kids’ future by fulfilling our state’s paramount duty — to amply provide for the education of all young Washingtonians.

Eyman has used the statewide initiative process to craft initiatives that pit Seattle and the Puget Sound region against the rest of Washington.

Most Washingtonians would probably say no. But that is what happened with the passage of I-695 and I-776.
