The Mayor is bluffing when he says that he will raise property taxes because the majority of the City Council wouldn't be able to support it as most of them would be voted out of office if they approved such a measure.  I am glad that the Legislature is finally calling the Mayor's bluff with giving him just enough to cover the current costs.  I think this whole stress-test additional funding is a bunch of baloney.  Where was this letter months ago when the Legislature first couldn't come up with an agreement?  This letter was dated yesterday.  This kinda stuff is why the Legislature is so frustrated with the Mayor's office.  They keep coming up with additional costs out of nowhere that nobody has heard of until the last minute.  The Mayor and the HART board need to stop lying and hiding stuff that's going on in the background.
