King County Executive News Conference

King County Executive Kurt Triplett is making an announcement about Metro Transit’s biennial budget on:

Thursday, July 23, 2009
11 a.m.
King County Executive Conference Room
401 5th Avenue
1st Floor
Seattle, WA

Metro Transit is heavily reliant on local sales taxes, which have dropped dramatically because consumer spending is down due to the recession. This has created a projected $200 million deficit for metro’s 2010-2011 budget.
