One opponent recently declared at a TriMet board meeting that we’ll owe $32 million for our share of the streetcar project. That figure is not accurate. Preliminary estimates have Lake Oswego’s share at $10 to $20 million, but design, engineering and a funding plan aren’t completed. It is also claimed that we will divert dollars we ought to use for infrastructure needs to pay for streetcar costs. This is another distortion. Nobody has proposed tapping the general fund for the streetcar. That will not be the way the streetcar is financed. Decisions about financing will be made by our elected officials, after listening to the public.
Some arguments are distorted (like hers?)
Wanna guess what side she is on? Ain't too hard just by reading the paragraph above. Blind to the flaws in the idea of a LO streetcar.
