With a hike in the GET, everyone,visitors and residents alike would share in footing the cost of rail. I would propose however that food purchased in grocery stores Not be taxed,in fact stop taxing food  purchased to cook period. That would help with the increase in the raised tax for 'goods'..Meals bought in restaurants would be taxed as it is a service. I am not a rail fan, I've seen what it does in other communities,much preferring a rapid bus transit,but that's water under the bridge at this point.
