Editor,
I was reading the Daily Journal and in the Oct. 23 edition I could not believe it: on the front page “Sales tax promises congestion relief” by Zachary Clark. Just like all the other promises that have been made to ease congestion. Yeah, right. So let me get this right: first we got a .12 cent per gallon tax and a vehicle registration increase this past year for “highway maintenance.”
Thanks for that by the way. Now all the Bay Area bridges are going to raise their the tolls over the next several years and now “they” want to tax us more for the next 30 years. Really? This blatant attack by the elected officials of this area is insulting. How much are we, the residents of the Peninsula, going to stand for? They are putting an express lane/carpool lane that we are going to pay for and then get charged to use. Hm. All this so we can move the “tech” workers to and from their jobs quicker? Lets face it, is Google or Apple gonna care about a few dollars per day? Probably not, but the average commuter will. I am tired of paying more and getting less, which seems to be the new norm in the political world around the area. I think we, the residents of this area, need to send a message that you need to stay within your budgets and quit asking us to pay more and get less. And then the idle threat of reduced service, “SamTrans may have to reduce service,” to try and scare the public. What’s next?

Did you get your big glossy mailer from the Yes on W committee? The disclaimer says it all: "Major funding from Facebook, Genentech and Bohannon Organization" a major developer. First they create the congestion, then they want us to tax ourselves to solve their problem.
Uh, no. Developers aren't responsible congestion; that falls squarely on the shoulders of municipalities that underfund their public transportation systems and don't ensure enough housing is built in tandem with office space.
*for congestion
