Mass transit backers regroup after Prop A defeat in LA
Los Angeles proponents of mass transit seek salvage after Prop A failed, with Mayor Bradley urging continued work. RTD faces calls to restructure as voters rejected a sales tax increase to fund 1000 buses and a 145 mile fixed guideway, while Orange County echoed the defeat. Neusom notes inflation fears behind the vote and questions remain on Gilstrap and RTD leadership. The district has spent over 1.2 million planning the project and 826 thousand on ads. Kennedy Hahn calls for organizational changes as Brown Jr. readies a top priority.
