Show Notes
Pima County voters are deciding on the RTA Next transportation plan today, with Proposition four eighteen and four nineteen on the ballot. The first proposition approves a $2.67 billion package for roads and transit, while the second extends the existing half-cent sales tax. The plan includes $1.58 billion for road expansions, $177 million for pavement fixes, and $726 million for bus and transit services. Proponents argue it boosts infrastructure, creates jobs, and keeps transit running, while opponents claim transit is shortchanged, roads will widen in suburbs, and past promises fell short. With about 31% turnout and 190,000 ballots processed, initial results are expected after 8 p.m. tonight.
