In a guest column in The Seattle Times, two members of a group called Citizens for Safety and Environment dispute traffic statistics cited for an outdoor amphitheater the Muckleshoot Tribe hopes to build.

The group says the tribe's partner, Clear Channel, has used conflicting standards. Citing an instance in New York City, D. Brent Warwick and Janet Devlin write: "Clear Channel's disdain for providing accurate, consistent information to government authorities is alarming.

"We sympathize with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, which owns the land on which the amphitheater would be built," they continue. "The tribe originally developed this idea with a different entertainment-industry partner. But along the way, Clear Channel gobbled up the tribe's original partner."

The 20,000-seat facility was first proposed five years ago. The land is not currently held in trust.
