"The Sound Transit Board has decisively resolved to include a new transit measure on the ballot this fall.  I applaud the decision to give voters a voice in this process.
 
"With gas prices sky high and transit ridership on the rise throughout the Puget Sound, expanding our transit options is more important than ever.  Our region and state must continue to look for innovative ways to expand transportation options for families, help reduce our carbon footprint and grow our region's economy for years to come. Expanding Sound Transit is key to that effort."
