Yesterday Mecklenburg County voters decided to take the long view and chose, in overwhelming fashion, to keep the transit tax.
Despite the efforts of an angry and vocal minority to undermine the progress Charlotte has made in the last 10-15 years toward correcting the mistakes of the past, enough people could see through what was really just a selfish campaign fueled more by anger at the Bobcats than by any sensible vision for Charlotte's future.
Charlotte is a banking city and knows a good investment when it sees one. The Light-Rail system, LYNX, and the CATS bus system are poised to play vital roles in the future of Charlotte. I'm glad that, even though I couldn't vote this year, enough people care about Charlotte's future to see this project through.
In your face, libertarians.
