The Race for District 3: Joe Kent

Published | Video Starts at 25:27

I'm against the light rail. I'm against the tolls as well. I mean, my opponent, Marie Perez, has said that tolling is just an inevitable part of this. That means Washingtonians are going to end up paying for the bridge three times with their state taxes, their federal taxes, and then a third time if they actually end up using the bridge itself. I'm completely against that. We should use federal funds so that the people in the district only have to pay for this once. (25:27–25:36)

CLAIM

Asserts that tolling would result in triple payment for Washington residents.
