text: No one from the City has explained why they need to extend the tax another 10 years instead of maybe 4-5 years based on the current projected costs of $10 Billion.  At $1.2 Billion for the 2 year extension, if you add another 8 years to that total, it brings the requested amount from the City up to $6 Billion.  Why do they need the extra $3 Billion on top of what they say that they need now?  What are they hiding?  That's the entire problem with the Mayor and HART.  They are either grossly incompetent or lying about the final amount that they need to finish the project!  I say force them to raise property taxes by the amounts that they are asking for and see if they get re-elected during the next election cycle.  The Mayor doesn't care because he's done after this term, so of course he's going to ask for whatever he can get.  Remember that he originally wanted to have the tax forever, then 20 years, and now 10 years.  He and HART need to start telling the truth!
