AARP has lobbyists on Capital Hill pushing an agenda to raise federal taxes. They want to raise the gasoline tax, increase the capital gains tax on savings and investments, and increase property taxes. Most people would call me stupid. There was also the argument that we passenger-only riders do not pay our fair share. I have to agree to a point.
All transportation is subsidized.
If you were much of a Seahawk fan you'd know that the Seahawks would love to have their home games telecast locally. However, it is an NFL rule that games not sold out by noon Thursdays may not be shown in the home market. Second, the fact that they are playing in Husky Stadium has had an adverse effect in that the attendance requirement is much higher due to the size of the facility. I believe had they played their first two games in the old Kingdome, they would have been televised locally. For those of you who have never attended one, we would highly recommend you do so.
