Letters | County needs to handle transport needs before stadiums


April 16, 2012 · 9:28 AM

Since King County does not have the budget to maintain and snowplow dead-end residential streets in unincorporated King County—nor the budget for a lot of other road projects in unincorporated King County—I do not want King County to be spending any money on transportation projects to serve the new $500 million sports palace in Seattle.

After King County meets its obligations to hundreds of thousands of its residents, then it can help the sports corporations of Seattle.
