Time to Stop Pretending

Politicians are in a tough spot. Those that preached ‘housing-now’ must now decide—will they follow ‘the will of the people’ or not? Voters just said NO for a second time. They don’t want to pay additional taxes for public housing or START busses. Last November voters said no to the extra one cent tax for housing and transportation. Politicians put it on the ballot again, repackaged as four separate SPET items. Last week voters said no again; all four failed. The other six SPET items all passed. That’s a strong message!
