Sacramento's Lie of the Century
California voters have good reason to be confused by Sacramento's decision to yank $1.3 billion from California's public transit funding paid for by our gas taxes. After all, just last November, when we passed a slew of infrastructure bonds, we also approved Proposition 1A, which promised:
YES ON 1A STOPS OUR EXISTING GAS TAXES FROM BEING USED FOR OTHER PROJECTS.
(Yes, that's a direct quote from the ballot language, all-caps and all.)
What do you know? They lied. Go figure.
