IRT Joseph Perez,

The GET is not the best way to finance rail.    The regressive tax hurts working families the most because they can't avoid buying food and medicine.  You've bought into yet another lie of the pro railers.

Secondly, the GET is already extended for many years and thus there are interest charges to deal with.  Extending the GET will result in billions of dollars more in interest charges to build rail.   Representative Luke was right that the city needs more upfront money or we will be paying much more in the long run.

And third, not a cent more should be given to the city until a forensic audit is completed, and any wrong doing corrected and people held accountable.

Lastly, the mayor and HART don't know how much rail will cost, or they don't want to say it might be 17 billion.   How do you fund something without a price tag?  Stop rail now!
