Without significant financial contributions,
the plans and construction for the 2 billion dollar NEW freeway lanes will remain
using money from public bus
service reductions in the Detroit area

The August 2010 SMART property tax renewal is
a masquerade and a deception to get the
public to believe that the state tax on fuel
from the Michigan Transportation Fund must be
replaced.
The money used to pay for the MDOT Freeway Expansions comes
from shutting down the SMART 285 Middlebelt
Public Bus
Route.

Without Contributions (cash or checks sent to address above) ---
-
A new regional mass transit agreement will
likely require large county tax
increases without additional state money,
if any. The rejection of proven industry
support continues.
-
The state constitution could be changed to
allow county sales taxes to pay for mass
transit with little or no incentives to make
better use of limited tax dollars.
-
Your suburban tax increases could be utilized
to operate the Detroit Department of
Transportation without adequate state revenue
sharing or improvements to meet minimum
standards, if state laws are changed.

God's loving kindness that is given
undeservedly establishes the human being's
self-esteem independently of
achievements.

Since 1995,
mass transit taxes in southeast Michigan have not
stopped or slowed down the destruction of thousands
of acres of natural beauty as more and larger
freeways have been built.
Your support of
"Save the Fuel Tax" will work to get
government and industry leaders to debate the
issues on television and the newspapers for mass
transit to work.
