Panel Developing Statewide Transportation Measure
Gov. Chris Gregoire is pulling together a statewide panel of advisers for the task of crafting a multi-billion dollar transportation measure to put on the ballot in 2012 that will generate enough money, fix enough problems and receive enough votes to pass.
The good news- the state is expected to poll state residents on what they view as pressing transportation needs and the best ways to deal with them, as part of the development of the ballot measure.
The Everett Herald has the story.
