Locke, Carlson team up to tout taxes

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former Democratic Gov. Gary Locke has joined conservative radio host John Carlson in leading a campaign to put a hefty package of regional transportation taxes on the November 2007 ballot.

Locke says he hopes other leaders in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties will help him educate voters about the need to invest more in roads, buses and rail transit.

The tax package could total $13 billion to $16 billion, the amount Sound Transit and the Regional Transportation Investment District plan to put on the November 2007 ballot.

Last week, Sound Transit and the investment district announced plans to assemble a list of mass transit and road and highway projects to submit to the three county councils, and later to voters.
