You may have heard that LA County missed out on $320 million in Federal money for projects like the Gold Line, because LA County officials wanted to wait and see the results of THIS:
HOW ABOUT A BIG "NO" NOW THAT YOU KNOW THEY TURNED DOWN $320 IN HOPES OF STICKING YOU WITH THE TAB. (They would have had to spend $80 million to get the $320 million. So they will just put this tax on the ballot and keep the mass transit projects on hold as a scare tactic.
ITEM NO. (13)
