Editor,

The regional transit revenue measure deserves the full support of our legislators.

Thanks for your letter, Ms. Lang, but you’re attempting to conflate the failure of passing the measure with the end of public transportation. And that’s not true at all. The fact that transit unions have been operating at 100% capacity with 50% of less of demand tells everyone that transit unions don’t want to practice any sort of fiscal management and would instead try to fool people into believing a failure to pass a measure will lead to the end of public transportation. Until these folks make an effort at fiscal management, don’t fall for the scare tactics.

We can't afford to support this measure. Vote NO on any and all transit measures (and any other tax measures). We know most, if not all, of the money will go towards paying ever increasing salaries, pensions, and benefits. With no benefit to taxpayers. Remember, these folks burned plenty of money to operate at 100% capacity with only 50% or less demand. We shouldn't encourage them to continue their wasteful ways.
