Proposition 3 - The Rest of the Story

Why I don't like Proposition 3
1. It requires 25% of the money be used for purchasing land for the Mountain View highway corridor. This is a road that probably must be built but it should be built with gas tax money. If there isn't enough, then the gas tax should be raised, not the sales tax. The gas tax is one of the best user fees we have.
2. There is not enough money in Proposition 3 to pay for all the TRAX lines that would have been covered by the SLC property tax increase.
3. The state legislature (and SLC business leaders) didn't agree with how the County Council was raising money so they took over the process. The legislature should be spanked (unless they're into that kind of thing).
4. Commuter Rail is included. I think commuter rail is a great idea. But why are my taxes being raised so that Utah, Davis, and Weber counties have an easier commute into SLC? I chose to pay the extra cost of living in the city to avoid the commute. Why should I then have to subsidize people who want to live in Provo and work in SLC? If anything, this should be financed at the state level, not the county level.
