The rail to the stadium and downtown will drive up the property values even faster than just the stadium alone. Taxpayers assume the position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576993731992352882.post-51268094820041932212018-12-07T13:39:10.455-05:002018-12-07T13:39:10.455-05:00The MPO should have proactively published the tota...The MPO should have proactively published the total 30-year tax starting with FY19 dollars when they presented the tax plan to the Tampa City Council! They were conspicuously silent on this and the fact that the pro-transit/anti-auto tax scheme entirely omitted the highway capacity spending category entirely...the only category omitted. They were complicit because they are due to reap 1% of the total...a whopping $160M. The MPO only "educated" on the positive aspects and hid the negative aspects of this plan.

Who is to blame? The people who swallowed all the lies or the people who made up and help continue them? Seems you were right about the stadium and property taxes also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
