Thank you Stan, but I don't quite agree.

Huff never asked during the PBS forum whether the candidates would pursue a GET surcharge extension. He asked only whether they would support using property taxes to construct rail. Caldwell gave a very straight answer: No, but property taxes should be included in operation costs, just like they are already used for bus operations. Carlisle agreed.

Caldwell also responded forcefully to Djou's deliberate mischaracterizations about Caldwell "threatening to raise property taxes."

Caldwell and Carlisle both called out Djou's scheme to ditch rail and stuff buses onto the rail guideway, and denounced it as sheer nonsense.

Huff failed to follow up and press Djou on that plan, and Djou never directly addressed it, but only made general references to "alternatives for mass transit" without being truthful about the wacky bus plan he has previously pitched. 

Caldwell also called Djou out for his reckless fear-mongering about rail bankrupting the city.
