San Jose BART now passing



With an 8 vote lead.

2/3rds needed to pass.

That seems like news. Recount?

2/3 needed to pass?? That makes me furious. You never see a billions-dollar road project on the ballot for 2/3 approval.

Brains,

2/3 is needed to pass any tax - like the sales tax we pay in Alameda Co., Contra Costa, San Mateo, S. F. Marin, and Sonoma for roads, transit etc.

This BART project is a stinker. $8+billion dollars for a 16 mile line. It will kill other more viable transit.

While there are lots of problems with BART to San Jose, it "killing other more viable transit" isn't one of them. Sorry.
