Cities start to deal with the fallout of I-976

EVERETT — Snohomish County cities are set to lose millions of dollars for road maintenance projects with the passage of Initiative 976. The measure, approved by 58% of the voters in the county according to latest counts, reduces most car tabs to $30.

Many cities are still deciding next steps. One prepared for the measure’s passage by proactively adjusting its budget. All are likely to have to postpone construction projects and road maintenance.

Before the election Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin warned approval would have devastating impacts on the city.

The city is losing about $1.5 million — about 41% — of its street maintenance and paving budget, and another $700,000 that comes from the state for paratransit bus service.
