Re-vote coming on transit funds
13 comments | Read story
Salt Lake County voters wanted transit. I hope our mayors and county commissioners hold true to that public vote. If not, we will need to replace them in the next election.
1 + 1 = 2... It's not too hard!
Why has it been ok for the legislature to "bail out" Davis County (Legacy) and Utah County (I-15 Reconstruction)? I don't see Salt Lake County's request for Mountain View to be any different than what has been requested by these counties. With finite funds, why didn't we toll Legacy, which runs within a few miles of an existing highway?
I also object to the legislature passing opportunities for local taxes (vehicle registration fees, sales taxes) and then trying to override local decisions when they don't go there way.
And I dislike the Legislature sticking their nose in local issues. Real stadium for one. Laws involving eminent domain for another. Why don't they keep your noses out of local issues?
elderly down.

People want transit even if it means higher taxes and more congestion. Give the people what they want.
