It sure does. Funny who the media, which was in favor of this big time, inadvertantly let out the truth this morning when one of the news weasels said that "the poorest countes voted FOR the tax PLACING THEMSELVES AT AN ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE TO THE REST OF THE STATE" Well duh, if countines voting for the tax placed themselves at an economic disadvantage, how about the whole area placing iteself at an economic disadvantage if the thing passed.
I can see it now. The districts that voted yes will collect the taxes, the state will reduce “normal” transportation funding by the same amount or more so that it can cover shortfalls in the other districts, and the yes districts end up in exactly the same place while paying higher taxes.
