The Columbian
While the light rail plan answered one of the key questions surrounding the project, it didn't resolve a pledge the C-Tran board made five years ago. When the agency approved the CRC alternative with light rail in 2008, it also adopted a resolution stating that "any means chosen" to finance the operation of high-capacity transit would go to voters for approval.
That remains C-Tran board policy today. But board members have given no indication that they plan to put the latest proposal on the ballot.
During last month's meeting, the board narrowly rejected a motion by Clark County Commissioner David Madore essentially reiterating that call for a public vote. Voters defeated an earlier finance plan in 2012. Madore is expected to float a new resolution related to high-capacity transit at tonight's meeting.
