PROPOSITION FOUR
Proposition Four calls for removal of the “light rail” initiative from the City agenda. The proposition will be voted on in the November 2006 elections.
Proposition Four will ask voters to require City Government to cease spending taxpayer money and resources on the light rail program. The vote will ratify what polls are saying that taxpayers do not want light rail, and that light rail will not solve transportation problems.
Light rail will only serve to reduce occupancy on already empty buses, and actually create more vehicular traffic by increasing railway gate stoppages across Central Florida . In addition, hundreds of millions of dollars already allocated to road improvements are going to light rail (money that was paid into DOT funds by taxpayers as impact fees for road improvements).
The only proponents of light rail are special interests and socialists who want to force taxpayers out of their cars and into mass transit. Taxpayers need to protect their freedom of choice in transportation and stop local government from a $2 billion mistake.
