The argument that the mayors make is that property taxes should be used for municipal infrastructure and the more of these taxes that go to Translink the less that they can raise taxes to pay for things such as roads & sewers.

For lack of a better phrase that is and emergency use of this tax income, and should be accepted by the Mayors Council and the they should sit down with Victoria and deal with the funding once & for all. either Road Pricing, or a collection mechanism that will allow a Vehicle Levy to be imposed.
