Ballot Measures: St. Louis County Proposition M
This is the ninth in a series of articles on Missouri ballot measures.
Proposition M authorizes a half-cent sales tax to fund MetroLink operations and expansion. I am in infrequent MetroLink user, and this is an inopportune time for Metro to come requesting more money given the poor economy and the bungling of the last MetroLink expansion. However, Metro is reporting sever financial shortages and will have to cut back on service if this initiative does not pass. Too many people rely on Metro to get to their jobs and around the city and the cutbacks will obviously hit them the hardest. During bad times, a scale-back in service will make things much worse for some people who are already experiencing very trying times. For that reason, I’ll be voting YES on M.
