Time to pop those champagne corks! Good riddance to one of the key figures in bringing the deep bore tunnel to Seattle, and a leading obstructionist in blocking expansion of rail in Seattle. Goodbye! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8oF2NgX…
I've met Tom Rasmussen on several occasions. He always seemed like a nice enough guy. But I can't think of a single notable accomplishment he's made in a decade on the city council. I don't dislike him, but I can't really think of any particular reason to endorse him either.
Given all that, perhaps it is better to give someone else a run for the job who has more enthusiasm and motivation.
@7 Well put. Perhaps Rasmussen had priorities other than the well being of transit. I'm sure in 10 years of service he did some good things but it's time to move on.
