I do not dispute this. The High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes HOV on I-75 in Oakland County, SEMCOG Studies and Amtrak all get the same federal and state money SMART used to get.
If Mr. John Hertel was SMART he would be removing cars from crowded roads using multiple revenue sources including CTF funds.
Instead Mr. John Hertel is SMART enough to raise $28 Million per year every year in permanent tax increases to avoid facing the TRUth that expanding freeways without a decent bus service will cost far more then the small tax increase he wants in the long run.
And this puts safety in last place by encouraging higher speeds, more cars and bigger trucks on our roads.
And with bus service not available 24 hours a day to downtown Detroit, mass transit will always SUCK in Detroit, even with rail service.
