LOCAL TRANSPORTATION NEEDED !!!
For a fraction of this cost, the BART system in the Bay Area
could be finished, with links to Silicon Valley, Livermore, Tracy
and the Central Valley. It was supposed to ring the Bay and
extend up the Peninsula but Santa Clara and San Mateo
counties opted out way back when.
Alameda County and other counties where BART has been
running from day one are paying a sales tax premium that
brings our local sales tax up to 9.75% with NO END IN SIGHT!!!
ALL residents that do business here subsidize this system that
carries thousands of people daily to work . . . how much do you
expect will be extorted to pay for this boondoggle and where
will the money come from to maintain it??
Put the money where it is MOST NEEDED, getting people from
home to work everyday . . . this sure does NOT look anything
like that!!!
