Is Ron Sims starting to get it? Hard to tell. Politicians frequently say one thing, but do another. If he wants to walk the walk rather than just talk the talk, he needs to reallocate substantial money from transit to roads in the 6 year capital budget.

`` We cannot separate growth from its positive and negative impacts -- strong economies bring traffic, environmental damage and a loss of rural character,'' said King County Executive Ron Sims. `` Had we built sufficient road infrastructure since the 1950s, our overall congestion would not be what it is today,'' Sims said. The county's only hope, Sims said, is to aggressively build catch-up road projects and at the same time avoid repeating history. http://www.eastsidejournal.com/Homepagedocs/topnews/dkr88290.html

I believe Sims is incapable of seeing the light (but he MAY be starting to feel the heat).
