As you're stuck in traffic, ask yourself, do you feel better about Seattle today than you did four years ago? Born in Seattle, I have fond memories of hopping the Number 7 bus heading downtown to explore the city. It was easier to get around then -- 20 minutes along Rainier Avenue and you were there. Then we were a big, small town. Now we're a big city with big city challenges. WTO, Mardi Gras, and Boeing's move have shaken us, but the failure of leadership on Sound Transit's light rail project may be the most breathtaking and far-reaching debacle of all. Billions over budget, years behind schedule, having squandered millions of your tax dollars and the public trust, they still haven't turned a single shovel of dirt. Those responsible for this mess pass the buck. Sound Transit's light rail has become WPPSS on wheels. You remember WPPSS -- the $24 billion nuclear dry hole? Like WPPSS, Sound Transit -- and for that matter, this city -- suffers from a leadership vacuum. Some Sound Transit board members say just build something -- trust us, we'll figure out the route and the final tab later when we hit you with the bill. If you have trust in that kind of leadership, then I'm not your man for Mayor. If you want to send those responsible for Sound Transit a message, vote for me. I'll ask the tough questions, insist on a realistic plan and hold people accountable to get the job done. I've done that as City Attorney for 12 years. I led the fights to create a special domestic violence unit, to prosecute polluters, and to get suspended drivers off our streets. I'm not afraid to tackle tough problems. I'll look you in the eye, tell you what I think is the right thing to do and then get it done. That's what I've done my entire career, and that's what I'll do as your Mayor. To get Seattle moving, we need an array of solutions -- light rail, monorail, buses, vanpools, technology -- whatever will give us the biggest bang for the buck and make a real difference. And as with many of the challenges we face, more than anything we need strong, focused leadership. Seattle needs a new direction. Vote for leadership to get Seattle moving. Please vote for Mark Sidran for Mayor.
