Essential California: Will L.A. tax its way out of congestion?

Transit tax
Los Angeles transit officials voted 11-2 Thursday to place a half-cent sales tax on the November ballot. The proposal could generate $860 million a year for street repairs, highway improvements and new rail lines. The tax, which requires a two-thirds vote for approval, would not have a sunset date. Supervisor Don Knabe was one of the dissenting votes. Angeles Times  http://www.latimes.com/newsletters/la-me-essential-california-20160624-snap-story.html
