Public debate on county sales tax to fund rapid transit
The executive director of MIA told the Chamber that the MTA plans a 650 million rapid transit system funded partly by a 15 cent property tax, with opposition among residents. He urged voter involvement and floated a countywide sales tax as an alternative, noting only 210 million of tax money would be needed and suggesting revenue bonds could cover the rest over 20 years. Local legislators face questions about voting requirements and authorization for such taxes.
