“This Metro tax increase (.75% of payroll! (not profit, not revenue)) is primarily making a MAX line to a wealthy Bridgeport mall!”

• Well, not entirely, because aren't there people along that corridor that would commute into work along I5? How many people would that be helping to reduce traffic?

It's a permanent tax! No reduction after 10 years, etc. Just voted by Metro each year.

“These are wealthy businessmen, they know about long term investments, why wouldn't they support investing in the Portland region?”

• As long as it's “other people's money”, why not?! Until it becomes your money.

Never mentions about MAX service line, but instead about new jobs, the other items that were inversely-pork-barreled into it.
