Socialist Democratic Seattle mayor Katie Wilson is pushing to increase sales tax her city to expand bus services — during a time when businesses are rapidly leaving the city.
Seattle voters will decide in November on increasing sales tax by 0.3% to fund additional bus services and funding free transit passes for low-income families. Democratic Seattle City Councilman Robert E. Kettle sent a letter to Wilson highlighting his concerns over the project given that the city is facing a $175 million budget deficit, according to Komo News.
