Perhaps we could reallocate funds from some of these less important projects. 1) K Street renovation 2) Old Railyards renovation 3) Cal Expo/ Sacramento Kings take-over 4) New $50 million county courthouse. Look up the dollar amount on these babies! $6 million to keep regional transit in healthy shape is a paultry sum in any economy.

In order to fund services that the citizens expect, someone will have to raise taxes. Nobody wants them to raise taxes, so services have to be cut. In order to pick up the tab, you have to have money in your wallet...and the city and county get their wallet from you and me. Which means that if we want the city & county (or the state) to pick up the tab, we need to dig a little deeper into our own pockets to do so.

The City & County have an obligation to fund and maintain this asset. $6 million is a paultry sum of money to allow the system to denigrate further with higher fares and service cuts. A robust system, charging reasonable fares, is unequivocally the life blood of Sacramento. Moving people from workplaces, to merchants and to homes is the key to a healthy local economy. Sacramento, step forward and pick up the tab! Steven Bourasa 2009-06-17T20:54:53Z
