two candidate fixes:

1. merge the POS into King County that has a strong tension between the Executive and Legislative branches and is well-managed; both governments run airports and work in transportation;

2. merge the ports of Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, and Bremerton into a new regional transport agency that would also absorb the PSRC, tolling, and commuter rail; they could form a Puget Sound port cartel for negotiations with the railroads and for price competition with Vancouver and LA-Long Beach.

both would require action by the Legislature.

Uh, I assume (hope) you are joking or simply playing provacateur du jour.

So David - we've got a vote on a transportation measure coming up. Do you agree accurate cost information should be presented to the voters?

Given that the funding for the tunnel under the present scheme is dependant on passage of RTID and ST2, do you agree with me that the following information should be presented to the voters in order for them to know what the cost to them of "tunnel vs. rebuild" likely would be: cost of tunnel construction (plus financing costs and accurate description of taxes/tolls); cost of viaduct construction (plus financing costs and accurate description of taxes/tolls); cost of RTID projects with and without tunnel (plus financing costs and description of taxes/tolls); cost of any Seattle-only taxes for tunnel; and cost of ST2 projects (plus financing costs and description of taxes/tolls)?

Just curious what info. you think the voters should be given --
