But if the House majority leader gets his way, Seattle WON'T get the funding.

House Majority Leader Tom Delay says Seattle's light rail project is a boondoggle, and anything but cost effective.

"You're spending anywhere from 25-to-30 percent of your transportation dollars to carry 4 percent of the traffic," Delay said. "It just doesn't make sense."

On Friday, the Bush Administration agreed to give the project $500 million, but at the same time a subcommittee showed its concerns by delaying the initial $75 million to get things going.

Congressman Delay, who was in town Monday for a fundraiser for State Rep. Jennifer Dunn, says nothing is final until it crosses his committee.

Congress has 60 days now to consider the full funding.
