It turns out that many people are uninformed or misinformed about the specifics of the transit tax and the plan. Foks don't even realize that there's a plan behind the tax referendum, and that a vote for the tax endorses it. If the
tax passes, the BoCC and TTA have the authority to levy the tax and
proceed with the plan. .
Without debating the pros and cons of transit , I hope that readers take a few minutes to
understand the plan. We sent the primer below to our mailing list. It includes
links to the plan and the financial information.
Primer on Transit Plan, Taxes and Fees
Voters will decide a 1/2
cent tax increase for transit. Please take a few minutes to learn about
this tax and the underlying plan before you vote.
In a crowded meeting last night, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed and discussed the proposed interlocal implementation agreement for the recently adopted transit plan. The discussion centered around a few questions: who would be party to the agreement, who would have control over how much of the revenues brought in from the transit tax. I've excerpted the part of the more than 400-page agenda packet that concerns the agreement here for you to see the draft of the agreement itself.
