Comments –
Senator O’Ban also has four bills from last session (SB5044, SB5043, SB5042, and SB5037) proposing various reductions in Sound Transit’s funding.

Summary –
Within Pierce County, the bill cancels any taxes approved by regional transit authority voters after January 1, 2015 (ie in the measure for funding Sound Transit 3). It cancels any bonds issued under that authority that contain a clause allowing it, and it restricts the spending of any revenue already collected to legal expenses for cancelling bonds or refunds to voters.

It also cancels, within Pierce County, any taxes approved in the future by the regional transit authority voters.
