Seattle says it’s facing massive budget shortfalls, but apparently there’s still money to pay people $75 an hour to sit on government advisory workgroups. Meanwhile, taxpayers are left dealing with crumbling roads, rising property taxes, and growing concerns about public safety.
In this episode of **Left Coast News**, we’re exposing Seattle’s Transportation Equity Workgroup and asking a simple question: **Why is Seattle spending taxpayer dollars on paid advisory committees while essential city services struggle?**
According to Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) program guidelines, Transportation Equity Workgroup members can receive $75 per hour, with annual compensation capped at $7,500 per member.
We’re breaking down:
🔴 Seattle’s ongoing budget problems and spending priorities
🔴 SDOT’s paid Transportation Equity Workgroup
🔴 The $75-an-hour compensation structure
🔴 The Transportation Equity Framework and its 200-plus recommendations and strategies
🔴 Why taxpayers keep getting asked to approve additional transportation levies
🔴 Whether government should prioritize roads, infrastructure, and public safety over administrative programs
**THE BIG QUESTION:**
Should Seattle eliminate paid advisory boards and put that funding toward basic infrastructure and public safety instead?
Washington taxpayers deserve transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of their hard-earned money. Government should serve the people, not the other way around.
