The Dane County Board recently created a Regional Transit Authority (RTA) for the purpose of creating and operating a commuter rail line. The arguments against this creation were obvious, but they did it anyway. The Wisconsin 9/12 group and We The People Of The Republic were out in force trying to stop it, but the Dane County Board didn’t care.
So what is the big deal? This only will affect Dane County right? Wrong!!! The RTA will now seek to have other counties who “use” the rail lines included in the RTA, and be on the hook for a part of the cost. That means another NEW TAX on all of us! Tell all of your County Board Supervisors we do not want to be part of any RTA.
On top of that sickening news, the feds are seeking to pass new laws for “safety oversight” of subways and light rail lines. As with the rest of things done by the Federal Gov’t, now be prepared to see more bureaucracy, more mandates, more spending, and more waste. Here is the link to the story: Federal oversight of subways proposed
