  1. Brian Wood says:

    Voters agreed to this “…0.5 percent sales tax for transportation and the indefinite extension of an existing 0.5 percent sales tax also dedicated to transportation and originally set to expire in 2039” back in November. On top of it, we get hit with the recently enacted (without voter approval) gas tax and increase in vehicle registration fees (Thank you Jerry Brown, et al.). I think it’s time to stop using “transportation” as the scapegoat for padding the general budget…
