SEATTLE (AP) — The state Transportation Commission approved a 2.5 percent ferry fare increase over the objections of Tim Eyman who argued his recently passed initiative requires state lawmakers to OK the hike.
Eyman asked the commission at Monday’s meeting in Seattle to wait a week for the state attorney general’s opinion on the effect of Initiative 1053.
The commissioner’s attorney said it could proceed.
The Kitsap Sun reports that unless there is a delay, the higher fares go into effect in January.
