SEATTLE — King County Assessor John Wilson is slamming the selection of King County Executive Dow Constantine as the new Sound Transit CEO.
Sound Transit acknowledged Monday that Constantine is in fact “Candidate C” and has been offered the job with a ratification vote scheduled for Thursday.
However, the move has been heavily criticized because Sound Transit has kept its vetting process secret and has not disclosed the names or backgrounds of the other finalists. Constantine is a former Sound Transit Board chair who is directly responsible for appointing half the board now offering him the job that could pay up to $650,000.
