Seattle Viaduct Vote (Alaskan Way Viaduct)

I think I need to go back to school and figure out how democracy works. Seattle voters turned down both proposed options for the Seattle viaduct. That's right, voters were given the option to vote yes or no on both proposals.

Instead of letting our elected officials do their jobs and make difficult decisions about the future of our city, we turn all issues over to a vote and then allow the masses to put them into gridlock. Nice.

That's it. We're moving to Texas.
