By your silly rationale, Jim, why not just say that magic beans will pay for the trolly car, too? The city council have gone out of their way to put Tucson tax payers in debt to the tune of over $125 million. They've proceeded with ordering the cars, the tracks, and moved major utilities, all without any funding whatsoever. And for what? A 4 mile stretch that most Tucsonans avoid like the plague! Please don't try to use the excuse that Rio Nuevo will revitalize the area... that's been an empty promise for over a decade. J.T. Waldron, if there is such an abundance of cops, why is Erik Hite laying in a grave instead of being on patrol? He was killed well outside his patrol area. $80 million for Prop 200 over a five year period is not unreasonable or unrealistic. I'd rather my tax dollars go for my protection than be wasted on a trolly car that will never pay for itself. Jim and J.T., the both of you have either forgotten or simply don't know that the mandate of government, whether local, state, or federal, is the protection of it's citizens through police, fire, and infrastructure.
