Light-rail systems have been tried all over the country, and
they've failed. Although the people who support them have
noble intentions, sadly, the system the city proposes iS
doomed to fail as well. People simply enjoy their cars too
much tO endure any inconvenience for the sake of the
environment. And I don't blame them. As the owner of
Jake's Used Cars and Trucks, have seen the joy and
freedom car ownership brings people. Americans will
never abandon that feeling for the sake of being slightly
better citizens. believe it is far more responsible to
purchase high-quality car with good fuel efficiency.
Building an entire light-rail system from the ground up, as
the city proposes to do, will actually be more wasteful in
the end if nobody uses it " not to mention that it will take
years to build and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. I
encourage all city residents to vote against the light-rail
system on May 1.
