So when will we know if the 30/10 plan can be implemented? My understanding is that congressional action is required for it to work. So when are they voting on it?
Also, this may be kind of a dumb comment, but can't they just have another referendum to increase transit funds even more, maybe include it with the November presidential election. Seems LA is on a transit roll and people are responding very well to the changes, so why not give even more money to transit while this mayor is still in office. Heck, measure R raised taxes by one half of one penny. Make it a penny and get this done twice as fast and get to more projects.
This reminds me of the NASA budget which is also half a penny on the federal tax dollar. There's a movement called a penny for NASA, mostly supported by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, aimed at doubling the budget to a penny and getting projects scheduled for completion in 10+ years done quicker. LA could have something similar.
