Thanks to people who made the Transit Rally this evening. The organizers and the speakers. I heard more hair-raising stories tonight than I've heard in any previous such rally. People are beginning to understand what will happen to their individual lives if nothing changes.
We must get to dedicated funding. The voters approved a TAX SWAP (that word SWAP is critical). It is not simply "a new sales tax" - it is that, but it's also a property TAX REDUCTION with a net benefit to all County homeowners. Several speakers made it clear that the bus comes before the Bradley Center for tapping a sales tax. In fact, the Brewer stadium has been at the tit far longer than what it takes a healthy baby to wean itself.
Well said.
