It's about time to fight SORTA..

Look at the great success of the folly

Or, the 8M conveniently found

Or, the high turnover in employees

A tax levy, WHAT A JOKE!

The tax levy must be approved by the voters. Why wouldn't you want voters to have a say in the issue?

Is SORTA restricted to placing a levy on Hamilton county? I'm in Fairfield, where there is literally no bus service at all, so it would be rather annoying to see property taxes go up here for SORTA. I haven't bought yet, and now I'm going to think twice about it.

Um, property taxes are not used to fund any public transportation in Ohio.

You do have bus service provided by BCRTA.

One of the reasons why Amazon skipped on Cincinnati, and why future corporations will ignore Cincinnati, and why you'll never host the Summer Olympics, is due to the fact that there is neither a rapid mass transit system or a coherent mass transit plan in the region.

It's about the prestige.

The expenses of infrastructure investment, which are necessary anyway, are recouped, and the Olympic Village where the athletes stay adds housing units to the city.

Several cities have been left with billions $$ of debt for hosting the Olympics. That's the *last* thing Cincy needs.

LOL. Did you see how low the Olympics were rated this year? This is not 1975--nobody cares anymore.
