On Tuesday, voters rejected the Trumbull County Transit levy.
For the Levy 24,205
Against the Levy 43,793
:'(
What do you think this means?
The voters in Trumbull County don't want public transportation or they don't want to pay taxes to support it.
Suggestion
If Trumbull County residents want good public transportation, they should move to Mahoning County. We provide for our senior citizens.
If Trumbull County residents want good public transportation, then they should pay the full cost of their trips. I voted against it.
If everyone paid the "full cost" of their trips, private mass transit would be financially feasible.
Isn't that what I said? I hope you aren't going to start with that BS about how private auto owners are subsidized and all that crap.

No. You said: "If Trumbull County residents want good public transportation, then they should pay the full cost of their trips." So let me rephrase my response. If everyone paid the "full cost" of their trips, we wouldn't need levies/taxes to pay for mass-transit. You don't really believe that the gasoline tax, and other user fees--like registration fees, pay for all roads, do you?
