Terry Burlison (May 23 letter to the editor) needs to be made aware that we owe our thanks to the Regional Transit Authority for the April 1 sales-tax increase, not the City of Kent.
Information from the Department of Revenue states that the tax increase will be used to expand and coordinate light-rail, commuter-rail, and express bus service, and improve access to transit facilities.
Sorry to say, but Terry will also be paying 9.5 percent in Renton.
