Voters, if we have the courage to vote NO on RTA Next we have the opportunity to stop the insanity of this heat island we keep building. If Props 418 and 419 pass, Tucson will shoulder the most cost for the least return and no, RTA Next will not fix the current streets and potholes (maintenance).
Remember too, this plan does involve a tax. While it is an extension of an existing tax, shouldn’t we demand a better return?
Only ~60% of RTA projects promised to the taxpayers of Pima County have been completed. So much was not fully funded or finished from the promise of 20 years ago, and now they want us to lock in for another 20 years. Why should we accept this?
Tucson can and should demand better for everyone. We need to defeat Props 418/419 and get a more sustainable plan for Tucson in place.
Imagine the Tucson you want, not the Tucson you are told you must have by those with money.
