Included is the 21-page pdf of Mayor Mike McGinn's text of the 2011 State of the City. On page 17 and 18 he refers to the deep bore tunnel controversy:

"By now the public knows that Council and I are divided on the deep bore tunnel. I believe the project is too expensive and too risky. Council doesn’t share that view.
We need to let the public decide. Given that it is the taxpayers of Seattle who will be at risk if this project goes over budget, they are entitled to a vote on this project. When we are talking about a project of this magnitude, this expense, and this risk, the public deserves to make the choice."

The mayor backs President Obama's plan for increased high speed railroads.
