Los Angeles Needs Mass Transit But Vote NO On Raising The Sales Tax

While Los Angeles needs new subways badly in order to relieve traffic congestion and have sustained growth, the mass transit plan being offered by the Mta now is a bad plan that would waste tax payer money. Zev Yaroslavsky the Los Angeles county superviser who has overseen the Mta for years used his positon to block a Wilshire subway because his Beverly Hills constituents didnt want Alavero street moving to Rodeo Dr.
The plan he and his assitant Roger Snoble are now proposing has big gaps in it. It completely leaves out the Burbank-Glendale,Antolope Valley area.
Roger Snoble would be adminstering the project and he spends public money recklessly. Roger spent 80million dollars on a gizmo that was supposed to be able to track passengers on the red line using a special transit card that would worked like a credit card. The Mta would have to spend another 60million to make work. So 80million dollars of gizmo is laying around the Mta some place while there arent enough buses to service the current ridership.
VOTE NO ON THE HALF CENT SALES TAX INCREASE in November. A better transit plan is needed and it shouldnt be put together by the amazing wastful duo of Roger Snoble and Zev Yaroslavsky
