Two ballot measures regarding the proposed deep-bore tunnel have gathered enough signatures to qualify for a vote this fall. Referendum 1 seeks to undo the recent tunnel agreements between the City of Seattle and the State of Washington. Initiative 101 would prohibit the use of any city rights-of-way for tunnel construction or operation. Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes has challenged both measures’ legality in court.

Tonight at 7 p.m., City Inside/Out with C.R. Douglas examines the legal battle over Referendum 1 and Initiative 101. Will the courts rule on the ballot measures’ legality before or after a vote by the people? Can the state’s tunnel be stopped by Seattle voters? How much of the tunnel project can go forward before the final environmental-impact statement is completed this summer?

City Inside/Out examines the points-of-view of Governor Chris Gregoire, Referendum 1 spokesperson Drew Paxton, City Council President Richard Conlin, Initiative 101 sponsor Elizabeth Campbell, Environmental Attorney David Bricklin and others.

City Inside/Out airs at 7 p.m., April 22, on the Seattle Channel, Cable 21.
