Sides Present Opposite Views On Proposed Cincinnati Light Rail
Would a proposed light rail system in the Cincinnati region relieve traffic congestion, improve air quality and create tens of thousands of jobs or simply waste billions of dollars?
"A proposed light rail system on next month's ballot in the Cincinnati region would either relieve traffic congestion, improve air quality and create tens of thousands of jobs or simply waste billions of dollars while having only a negligible impact in those areas, supporters and opponents said Wednesday night. During a two-hour forum at Xavier University, the two sides in the Issue 7 campaign offered diametrically opposed viewpoints on the $2.6 billion light rail plan and the proposed half-cent sales tax to help pay for it, alternately hailing it as an enlightened approach to Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky's transit needs or a costly boondoggle destined to fail."
