The asphalt component is about maintaining and tweaking NOT constructing roads.

Since I don't think the net effect of this tax and the projects they say they will build is positive, I don't see much downside to it failing.

You and SC are basically cutting your nose to spite your face.

Yes, the ARE naive if they use Seattle as a model. Oh, I wonder how they overcame the strong Seattle Tea Party!

You are going to have roads.

Everyone seems to be saying tax yourselves to get a bad deal as to what is really needed - not enough transit.

Its not naive to think this tax does more harm than good.

I haven't come across any recent TIA polls. I'm sure the PR campaign supporting the tax has conducted plenty.
