Transit Minority Malfunction

If ever there was call for unanimity, it was the County Commission vote on light rail.  They weren’t voting for or against it, but for or against letting the voters have the ultimate say. And yet the vote was 5-2?

Thanks for nothing, nay-voting Jim Norman and Al Higginbotham.

How do you not vote to let the people determine if they want to add a penny to the sales tax to pay for rail, buses and roads? Even if you think the 21st century should be repealed and that future economic viability lies in ever more sprawl, how do you not let the voters make that critical call about their future and that of their kids?
