"Bus service shouldn't be optional—it should be a right.".
@11 maybe the solution involves managing the money they receive better, along with making the fares cover a greater portion of operating costs. There is no good reason why all the fancy Rapid Ride bus shelters needed to be installed, for example. Those busses could have used existing stop infrastructure much more cost effectively.

Morning News.
How are they going to pay for gender-neutering the state's laws? I thought the budget was in bad shape?

Rally in Olympia on Friday to Fight the Beer Tax.
@8 maybe they can start with a state income tax on only the rich, just like how the beer tax was only on the products of big brewers. I'm sure such an income tax would never be extended to cover the majority of the population.

The War on Cabs.
I had to make an unexpected last minute trip back to Seattle last month. I was shocked how high taxi rates are from the airport. I ended up renting a car. Sounds like that was the best thing after all after hearing the reports of how dirty and unreliable the cabs are.

Mt. Rainier Moves to Ban Bottled Water, Big Bottle is Pissed.
Bottled water is about convenience. I buy a lot of bottled water when I travel because you can't always carry enough reuseable water bottles in your carry on luggage to have adequate water for when you are away from a tap for hours. My job often has me traveling to hot, dry work locations with no water and where you have to piss behind your truck.
