I missed this article this morning and was just sent a note to check it out:
Election unlikely to determine outcome of RTD/RTA (via the Times)
Representative Soliday makes an interesting possible case wherein Porter County as one of the only counties to abide by the state law mandating this referendum may end up with 4 of the 7 seats if the referendum were to pass. For those arguing against the RTA merely because they don't want Lake County to have control ... this may be an argument for voting "YES"
For those worried that any income tax is a bad thing, this article suggests we may be paying in some form or another anyway ... perhaps this is the best version allowing Porter County regional control of the other three counties.
