Majority of SMP board will be elected

As 2045seattle reports

Last night, the board agreed that the majority of the board should be democratically elected. Right now, two of the nine board members are elected while the rest are appointed. It will be increased from two to five. Well done.

Also in that post is a run-down of election results. In each of the SMP board positions, the pro-monorail vote was split among 2 candidates, giving the appearance of an anti-monorail sentiment in Seattle. However, combining the percentages of the pro-monorail candidates shows that our city still supports electing pro-monorail politicians.
