MTA tax bill clears another hurdle

"Today's unanimous vote by the committee builds consensus and
momentum toward a future of freer-flowing traffic and reduced dependence
on foreign oil. Los Angeles County voters have a once-in-a-generation
opportunity to make a once-in-a-generation investment in a transit
system that works for the entire region.
"I will continue to work with the full Senate and the Governor to
ensure that the people of Los Angeles County have the choice to build
for a cleaner, greener, more sustainable tomorrow."
