The letters to the editor criticize various governmental actions related to transportation and energy policy. Critics argue against a proposed transit tax hike in California, stating it's an unfair burden on residents and businesses already facing high sales taxes. There's also skepticism towards the high-speed rail project, suggesting it's more practical to widen existing highways. Additionally, the importance of preserving clean energy tax credits is emphasized to prevent job losses and increased pollution, indicating a call for responsible economic and environmental policies.
Our state sales tax is already the highest in the country. Sometimes the government has to act like a business, and when demand goes down for mass transit, then operations must be scaled back.
The intent was to provide ground-based, fast transportation between the Bay Area and Los Angeles. It would have been less expensive and faster to simply add a third lane to Highway 5.
Clean Energy Tax Credits must be maintained or we face the loss of jobs and economic growth in addition to increased pollution.
The fear of high-speed accidents can be mitigated by adhering strictly to safe driving practices and maintaining vehicles properly.
