I SUPPORT CMS Bonds for New School
Construction
The proposed bond
package takes a positive step forward in
addressing the serious overcrowding
situation we have in North Mecklenburg. Our
area will receive the largest amount of the
funding and it cannot come soon enough.
While we need to continue to fight for
additional funding (through COPS and
possibly other sources) we need to approve
the bonds and start design and construction
critical projects. For more information,

I SUPPORT CPCC Bonds
The proposed bond for
CPCC bonds will provide funding for building
maintenance and expansion of facilities.
The bond proceeds will finance the next
phase of the College’s strategic plan to
expand access to CPCC education and training
for our community. For more information,

I Am AGAINST the Repeal of the Transit Tax
Of all the choices
voters must make in this year's election,
the repeal of the transit tax is by far the
most divisive and most difficult. I have
friends and colleagues who are on opposite
sides of this issue, but the differences
between them are not as they may seem. I
OPPOSE the current plan for expanding
commuter rail (North Line) and light rail
(Northeast Line) due to serious concerns
with the financial viability of the plan and
the potential undue burden on taxpayers. I
do not view the repeal as a referendum on
trains, I view it as a major threat to a
dedicated source of funding for
transportation. I OPPOSE the
repeal of the transit tax because I believe
it creates more problems than it solves and
it sets back our efforts to secure
additional funding for ROADS.
