Seattle's mayor WTF

[D-train]

aimed at improving Seattle's transportation system

She can start with rental cars. Cars are averaging about $140 a day coming out of SEA-TAC this summer.

How fucking ridiculous. I'm sure glad I don't live in Washington any longer, although Colorado is slowly turning into another Liberal hell hole.

Where did you get that number? I'm seeing a lot less on Enterprise and Alamo web sites (maybe like 400 weekly with all fees for a mid size SUV, but less if you want to go for a smaller vehicle).

But ... how much does the price of rental cars at Sea-Tac have to do with the Seattle mayor? The airport and rental cars are under the control of the Port, aren't they? And the airport isn't even in Seattle.

And as a Seattle resident, I don't rent cars at the airport, so it's not a big deal. I had visitors two weeks ago and instead of renting a car they took the light rail for $3 each to where I met them.

I didn't vote for our mayor and I've got lots of criticisms of her, but this one is pretty far down the list.

You made your visitors take public transportation instead of picking them up at the AP??? lol

I told them I needed my next paycheck to be able to afford that much gas. They understood. lol

No actually, they wanted to take light rail. I couldn't tempt them with the prospect of an hour in traffic on I-5 north.
