i don't expect the GOP-dominated state legislature to move forward on a transit authority.. Not when this "two thirds majority to approve any tax changes" proposition is hovering nearby.. if it passes, that seemingly kills any formalized RTA plan, which would have tax-revenue collection context to its operation..

as far as scrapping.. I guess most state legislators feel that as long as their own homes and businesses aren't being pilfered [[especially since many folks tend to assume this only goes on in "lower-class" districts), then it's neither here nor there to them.. I don't know if any of them are so far-gone as to rationalize that recycling centers who look the other way are blameless "job creators who need support, not punishment"

I guess we'll see what happens [[or not...)
