From Carolina Journal Radio Program No. 702: Wake County government is asking voters to consider raising the local sales tax by 0.5 percent to help fund a $2.3 billion county transit plan. Key elements of the plan involve a new commuter rail line and adoption of new Bus Rapid Transit. Julie Tisdale, JLF’s city and county policy analyst, explains why taxpayers should be wary of funding an “underutilized, inconvenient, and expensive” local transit plan.
