The Truth About Traffic
In this episode of The New KCTS 9 Connects with Enrique Cerna, the truth about traffic. On November 6, voters in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties will decide on Proposition 1, the $47 billion dollar roads-and-transit initiative that offers a regional plan to reduce congestion, improve mass transit, and expand roadways. CNX takes a closer look at the plan. What will it do in your neighborhood? What will it really cost? Who will really pay for it in taxes? And why some of the biggest names in local politics are divided over the issue.
Here are the results of last weeks poll:

And our feisty political roundtable tackles a slew of hot-button issues, including the nasty fight between insurance companies and lawyers over R-67, and NBA Commissioner Stern's tongue lashing of Sonics fans for having "no heart."
