On Wednesday (March 20), the house passed a 20 percent increase in mass transit bill. Under the bill, a portion of money collected from state sales tax will be given to public transit agencies. This will be an increase of around $283 Million. This is not a tax increase. It is money already collected and just redirected to a different need. The bill passed with all but one Democrat voting for it in the house. Five republicans voted to pass the bill, not one from Butler County. This is what’s left of the Metcalf way. If there is money to be brought back to the area, you can guarantee that it won’t happen if we keep the current sillybaby in the office. Infrastructure and transportation, if you haven’t noticed, is a backbone of the area that is years behind in being updated.
