This is like electing a pop star president of their own fan club.  Big Shock. 

Not content with telling kids Santa was going to die, now he is the head cheese for the biggest waster of tax payer money in western Washington.  I am speaking of the Light Rail project that was billions overbudget before it broke ground, does nothing to relive traffic problems, and doesnt go where the people need it to.

And as Greg is a HUGE fan of transit and wasting money, this should mean lots of new taxes and even more waste.

Hoorrah!

This is just one more reason to oppose Sound Transit.

Mayor voted to lead Sound Transit board

Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels was unanimously elected chairman of the Sound Transit board for a two-year term.

Nickels, 52, is a longtime advocate of the light rail system the agency is building.
