I will also concur that the above is an excellent post.
Though I am strongly against funding public transportation solely through a property tax millage in a city that forecloses on residential properties for unpaid taxes by the thousands annually, while at the same time, it is almost impossible to build any new residential housing without a major property tax abatement via the NEZs. Those are separate taxation problems, not an anti-public transport position.
It is idiotic expecting every public service any government provides to self fund its own revenue while providing the service. Corrections in this state operate at a multi Billion dollar loss but nobody thinks we don’t need them besides the criminals.
