It's early in the day, and the numbers might change, but right now it seems that adding yet another PERMANENT "temporary" tax (YAPTT) is intensely unpopular with rail fans and realists alike.

It makes you wonder why the State Legislature is so intent to spend their own political capital on ANOTHER tax increase and do Mayor "On TIme and On Budget" Caldwell's dirty work for him.  Especially while he is acting like a spoiled rich kid who didn't get the right model BMW for their 16th birthday.
