Podcasts about Light rail

This week… We got an idea of just how much the average person needs to make to afford rent in Seattle. After 125 years, the independently run U Bookstore is entering a partnership with Barnes and Noble. And if you’re waiting for the Light Rail to connect to the east side, keep waiting. Sound Transit officials say there’s been a delay, and you’ll have to wait until the beginning of next year. Too Beautiful to Live Co-Host Andrew Walsh and Psychology in Seattle Podcast Host Dr. Kirk Honda are here to break down the week. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us.

#PACIFICWATCH: #VEGASREPORT: LIGHT RAIL FOR 3 MILLION POPULATION.  @JCBLISS 1901 CLARK COUNTY

Michelle Belkot addressed the C-TRAN board Tuesday night, speaking against her removal and urging a delay in voting on light rail funding language. The board agreed to hold off until July, allowing time for the courts to review pending legal cases. The meeting drew strong public support for Belkot and renewed debate over light rail's future in Clark County.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- It was a big week as we lost George Foreman, Kitty Dukakis, and Val Kilmer. The former and the latter gave us so much in the realm of entertainment and it's sad to see them go. President Trump has been lighting it up this week. He enacted the tariffs, had the stock market tank, over 75 nations rushed to negotiate, and the tariffs are on a 90 day pause. China is now in the spotlight as it is trying to fight back, but doesn't have the financial strength to hold out. We'll see how long it lasts. Tim Walz took our $18 billion surplus to a projected $6 billion deficit. That is some of the worst financial mismanagement ever. Not one to learn a lesson, Walz just released his budget, and boy, is it a doozy. He also wants to expand the sales tax to some services that currently don't have one (like having your taxes done). He also wants to increase a healthcare surcharge on HMOs. There is also an anti-fraud provision included. In an effort to "fully fund education" he's cutting funding of some things, like text books, to non-public schools. He's not willing to cut the tax for our seniors on social security. We're one of a handful of states that still do that. Despite the cost for Southwest Rail doubling, it's still full steam ahead. These omnibus bills need to be done. Why won't the Republicans stand up and stop all of this spending? MN statutes say that bills should be single-issue, but they don't write them that way and the courts won't uphold the law.  

Protesters in Bellevue are going to hit the streets of Bellevue to demand a wealth tax. It’s been an interesting week over at CNN. A new bill would not allow Washington circuses to have lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my. // LongForm: GUEST: Chris Sullivan on weekend traffic delays, new speed cameras on freeways, and Sound Transit & Light Rail time waste. // Quick Hit: The DOD canned a base commander that was insubordinate to JD Vance.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens delivered the 2025 State of the City Address on Tuesday night. During his address, Dickens stressed the importance of connecting neighborhoods. Among his points, the mayor briefly mentioned that in less than 18 months, people will be able to take trails from the Beltline to the Chattahoochee River. However, people, both for and against light rail on the Beltline were left searching for more details and are now wondering what’s next. Matthew Rao, the chairperson for BeltLine Rail Now, and Hans Klein, an associate professor in the School of Public Policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology, share more about their opposing visions for the Beltline. Plus, more than 9.2 million workers in 21 states saw a minimum wage increase at the start of 2025. However, that does not include Georgia, which remains at $5.15/per hour. But by law, the state must pay the federal minimum wage of $7.25/per hour. Forest Park Mayor Angelyne Butler joins “Closer Look,” to talk more about how the City of Forest Park is offering a $23.46 minimum wage for its full-time city employees.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
