Okay, switching from federal to local taxation? I live not far from Franklin and see crowds of students and others taking the EMX everyday. As far as W. Eugene segment: it allows folks w/out cars and who don't wish to cycle in the rain access to many commercial establishments. Perhaps this will impact cabs: I've seen poor-ish looking folks getting into them outside of stores with their purchases. Now, how do you stand on building road-after-road for congestion? Or do we just ignore it? You know, like the health care emergency someone named Obama finally did something about?
