Apparently #SoundTransit is attempting to cut stations, such as west #seattle , ballard, #issaquah , and #kirkland , from the new ST3 project due to running out of funding. Unforchies it doesnt look like Microsoft is going to foot the bill this time like with the 2 line.
Article below goes into detail, petition below demands that W.Seattle and Ballard stations be re-instated. Haven't seen any other info so far but if anyone knows anything else feel free to add on to the post
Sound Transit will celebrate opening a light rail connection across Lake Washington later this month, but behind the excitement, the agency faces a brutal financial future. Sound Transit can't deliver on its ST3 promises to voters by 2046 as planned.

**Apollo, BlackRock Deny Asking Kirkland To Abandon Optimum**

Apollo, Ares, BlackRock and other major financial firms have denied the allegations made by Optimum Communications. Optimum claims the firms “bully‑ed” the law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP into withdrawing as its transaction counsel in a telecommunications deal, seeking retaliation for a separate collusion lawsuit that Optimum filed in a New York federal court.

Optimum argues this conduct was meant to punish the company for its antitrust claims, while the defendants assert that no such coercion occurred. The case highlights ongoing tensions between large financiers and corporate counsel in high‑stakes litigation.

Kirkland & EllisThe man who secured Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious sweetheart deal that helped him avoid serious jail time is leaving the legal field.
Jay Lefkowitz, 63, announced on Monday that he will be retiring after three decades as a prominent litigator at Kirkland & Ellis’ New York offices.
The litigator is known for being Epstein’s henchman and the driving force behind the disgraced financier’s 2008 Florida plea deal, which allowed him to escape serious federal charges despite extensive evidence that he had abused and trafficked underage girls.
