Kill LoneStar Rail!

ALL HANDS ON DECK!  Board to vote to KILL Lone Star Rail

Need folks to attend Monday to ensure they do!

Forbes magazine says Austin's Cap Metro light rail is the worst in the nation! Other light rail systems across Texas don't fare much better based on Forbes' analysis. It works out that every transit user gets a$9,000 per year subsidy! You could buy every transit rider their own vehicle for what it costs taxpayers to keep these rail boondoggles going! Let's not keep adding to the money pit by building Lone Star Rail, too! The Austin MPO, Capital Area MPO or CAMPO, meets Monday to vote to pull the plug on this boondoggle. Union Pacific pulled out of the deal saying it wasn't financially feasible, so it's past time elected officials put an end to the waste and pull the plug on any further 'study' of the matter. They've already spent $23 million 'studying' it. Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff was arrested for DWI Sunday. For Bexar County residents, it's worth noting that Commissioner Kevin Wolff has pushed to keep wasting millions more to finish the 'study' of a project that's already been determined to not be feasible. Austin's MPO has said it won't put any more money into it and that San Antonio has to pony-up the bucks if the environmental study is to move forward. So that's Bexar County taxpayers paying for the boondoggle next! Wolff has an opponent in November and Wolff just got arrested for a DWI over the weekend. His judgment seems to be impaired on multiple fronts! So ALL HANDS ON DECK in Austin Monday night. If enough bodies show up to oppose Lone Star Rail, we might actually succeed in sparing taxpayers another money pit rail project! Vote to END Lone Star Rail CAMPO Meeting Monday, August 8 Joe C. Thompson Center, Room 3.102 University of Texas Campus Red River & Dean Keeton Streets Austin, Texas 6:00 PM AGENDA ITEM #8 - To remove Lone Star Rail from the transportation plan!
