If the city goes ahead with the sales tax ballot question and it passes, do those funds go the general fund? Could they be used for public transportation?
I appreciate the Tucson City Council's open and honest discussion and it's commitment to staying the course regarding free bus fare. Free bus fare is a benefit to all of us and they are right to seek an Arizona Legislature that is more committed to a cleaner environment than the present one by better funding public transportation.

That's a good question. I think they can say "all this money will go toward transportation" if they want. But only a lawyer can answer that for sure.
