This is what voting against taxes gets you, according to the Transportation Choices Coalition blog :

There were a lot of contentious discussions about the future of PT and their service size yesterday, but one of the bold things the board did do is direct staff to implement the full 35% service cuts in October (as soon as possible) with the failure of proposition one.  From my perspective this is good news in that voters and the community will realize Pierce Transit wasn't lying when they said they would have to cut service by 35% if Prop. 1 didn't pass.

According to Transportation Choices' Twitter feed, the Pierce Transit board agreed unanimously that the cuts should come all at once, in October, and that they could mean no transit service in Pierce County after 8 pm. (Better not have a night job!)

King County Metro may have dodged a bullet a week ago, when the senate transportation committee agreed to let the county charge a temporary $20 vehicle license fee to pay for transit without putting the fee to a public vote. Committee chair Mary Margaret Haugen (D-10), a frequent adversary of transit advocates, agreed to give the taxing authority to Metro---but not to Pierce Transit or any of the region's other transit agencies---because of the work the agency and county council have done to cut costs and find efficiencies.
