If you listen to the entire 40+ minute press conference. It is clear the "roll out" wasn't about safety enhancements but rather an over the top pitch for the sales tax increase referendum.
These fine folks are trying really hard to get your vote to pass the additional 1% sales tax burden and they act like they are doing you a favor.
They want to increase your sales tax by 13.4% in Mecklenburg County.
They make excuses for the lack of public safety, discounting it to perception and national news media coverage.
Davidson Mayor Rusty Knox says he's never felt unsafe on the Lynx Blue Line or the Express Bus from Davidson and that he rides frequently.
Rusty, Iryna didn't feel unsafe either.
His comment: "The murder of Iryna Zarutska was spontaneous and probably unpreventable."
This is disgusting and a shocking comment for any elected official to make.Iryna's murder was was neither spontaneous or unpreventable.
As Vice Chair of the MTC his thinking is just one more reason to vote NO on the 13% sales tax increase to fund mass transit.
