I have to agree with the comments to this entry in Shark Blog (Some laws are more equal than others). The law is the law and Seattle residents should pay the monorail tax. Those who oppose it should work to overturn it.
However, everyone should obey the law, the taxpayers and the Monorail Authority. If you look at the board of directors, you'll note that there are ten of them. But the petition creating the authority only allows for nine (section 4). Where does the tenth come from? From the bylaws, which specifies the ability to create a non-voting ex officio seat for a Seattle legislator (section 2.10). This is a wise political move, but is contrary to the enabling petition and to the voter's intent, and the board should not be able to add members using the bylaws. If they are allowed to, there is no limit to what size the board could grow. Board members, even non-voting ones, have priviledged positions, and the board should be restricted to a size established by law.
