‘O.C. Transportation Tax Increase a Tossup’

Concerning the Orange County Transportation Commission refusing to buy Southern Pacific’s right of way for use as a commuter train route unless voters approve a hike in the sales tax in November (June 24):

How dare the commission hold the Orange County Transit District and the voters hostage! We need the proposed light rail that will be built on the right of way. It will run from Santa Ana to Buena Park, feed into rail systems in Los Angeles County and lessen the congestion on the freeways.

The voters should defeat the tax increase just to teach the commission a lesson!
