text: Unfortunately, as I witnessed HART go to the Legislature last year, the truth about rail was not discussed.  The legislators did not ask enough tough questions about rail.  They all assumed the extension would go through and sat there silently.  Only the leaders in the money committees asked a few questions.  When HART lied to them, they did not have enough information to know they were being lied to.  They are busy people and are not up-to-date on rail.  Or they are "True Believers" and only want rail at any cost.  We need CB to ask tough questions - now.  Which tax will be raised to pay the annual operating costs?  What is plan "B" if the ridership is lower than projected?  How will the transit commuters get to work when rail is down for maintenance? If the community demands more security on the platforms, where will the money come from?  Why do our tax payments pay for misinformation on the HART website?  What does improved "Quality of Life" mean?
