""I did not forget about the city's power to raise taxes using property taxes. from the beginning the plan was not to use property taxes as the primary funding source.""

Before the election in 2008, mayor moofi took out printed ads (at tax payer expense) clearly stating that the rail would not use property taxes for construction.   We know that was a lie because it was going to be Kirk's first option until the legislature caved in and extended the GET surcharge.
