Hopefully, he can talk the naysayers into passing a new proposition in April.Dan Davinroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884395567717761414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190846390008853053.post-66776993052340664792009-10-12T16:50:28.294-05:002009-10-12T16:50:28.294-05:00I'm not really sure how that would work.

I'll gladly pay the tax even though I've only used a bus in this city once in my entire life. It is a needed service.Dan Davinroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884395567717761414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190846390008853053.post-37480663860284879542009-10-05T07:36:17.805-05:002009-10-05T07:36:17.805-05:00^So you don't think a fee for service system w...^So you don't think a fee for service system would work in the suburbs?Mark Grothnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190846390008853053.post-15060140965506453932009-10-04T20:50:48.844-05:002009-10-04T20:50:48.844-05:00Although I understand your sentiments I would poin...Although I understand your sentiments I would point out that county residents defeated the last Prop M 51.5% to 48.5%. This is hardly a mandate on what county voters think. <br /><br />There are liberals out here who would love to see a more viable mass transit system and voted for a tax increase despite the mismanagement of the south extension. So although people can apparently know a lot about me because of my brick ranch house I stand for Metro's expansion. <br /><br />Let me add however, that over 300 million of the 465 million of the initial phase of the Metrolink was paid for by the federal government.Dan Davinroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884395567717761414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190846390008853053.post-51265561144771813662009-10-04T20:08:13.014-05:002009-10-04T20:08:13.014-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dan Davinroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884395567717761414noreply@blogger.com
