In a statement to reporters, King County Executive Dow Constantine and members of the King County Council say that at 10:30 a.m. today they’ll “announce a major development related to funding for public transportation.” Presumably, they’ve found some means to break last month’s partisan logjam that prevented the council from voting on a $20 car tab fee, which would prevent a 17 percent cut to bus service. Will the council send the fee to voters (which requires six votes)? Stay tuned.

  1. The $20 car tab fee will not prevent a 17% cut. If you heard the director of Metro on the radio yesterday, he clarified that the $20 car tab fee plus spending down all of Metro’s reserves will prevent a 17% cut. No one from Metro will say how much the car tab fee alone saves.
