Despite Claims, Gas Tax Projects Are Not on Track

This is what Olympia is saying about the Nickel and TPA gas tax projects as they relate to the supplemental transportation budgets:

“We followed the governor’s lead, scrutinized every last project and were able to produce a budget that
keeps projects on track...” Rep. Judy Clibborn, February 20, 2008

“The House Chair’s proposed budget maintains the commitment to the Nickel and Transportation Partnership projects.” Budget Highlights, House Transportation Budget, February 20, 2008

“The Governor’s 2008 budget proposal keeps these projects moving forward and addresses immediate
safety needs.” Statement on the Governor’s website for her proposed Transportation budget

“Democrats…said their budget keeps all of the 400‐plus planned highway and bridge projects moving
forward.” David Ammons, AP article, February 22, 2008

But after reviewing each of the budgets, we found that despite these claims, many of the gas tax projects are not on track. Read the full Legislative Memo here.
