Democratic State Rep. Jessyn Farrell says that the local option for a King County Metro transit tax is now part of the transportation-revenue package in the House of Representatives.
Farrell introduced the bill early this year to allow the County to ask voters to approve a motor-vehicle excise tax with proceeds going to prevent cuts to Metro transit service.
The 46th District legislator said Thursday that she hopes the package will reach the floor for a vote after a vote on an agreed-upon General Fund budget.
She said that House majority Democrats are working hard to find agreement with the Senate Majority Caucus Coalition on the general-fund budget.
Farrell’s 46th Legislative District includes Lake Forest Park, Kenmore and northeast Seattle.
