2023-04-24Stop Runaway Spending at Sea-Tac: WATT Campaign Mailer
This campaign mailer from the Washington Alliance of Taxpayers and Travelers (WATT) opposes the Port of Seattle's plan to build a third runway at Sea-Tac Airport, calling it a billion-dollar 'boondoggle' that would take four years to construct and burden the region with overwhelming truck traffic. The group warns that the project would require moving 26 million cubic yards of dirt via 2,000 trucks per day through neighborhoods across the Puget Sound region, and that taxpayers could face property tax increases of over 60% if airline fees fall short of covering costs.
