(CA-Measure Q)-[ACTION: SF Bay]-Commuter Rail's Future: SMART

Crossposted at Daily Kos

Are you ready for commuter rail in the Norther San Francisco Bay Area?

Measure Q will pass a 1/4 cent sales tax to help pay for the planning, implementation, construction, and start up of a quiet efficient Diesel Multiple Unit commuter train.

But to levee this tax, we need a super majority in our two counties, Sonoma and Marin.

Calling all train lovers, traffic haters, tree huggers, money grubbers, and especially all able bodied, sharp minded, and generous SF Bay Area Kossaks!

LETS PASS MEASURE Q!

NEWS

The Marin IJ endorsed Measure Q in an opinion piece last night. This is only a little piece of news because 1: SMART is going to win every endorsement there is to win, because of the near mandate it has in both Marin and Sonoma counties, and 2: because I'm sure a more formal and stern endorsement will come later from the editorial board. But still, it is something to be happy about.
