RTA referendum fails big

Northwest Indiana Comical Politics - suggests that the RDA is in trouble now too

By a landslide margin of 12,255 to 3,122 voters in Porter County decided they would not participate in a Regional Transportation Authority. I said a whole lot of times here on this site, the budget bill with the RTA language was a total mess, poorly worded and impossible to actually form.

The good news is that voters, at least 15 percent of them, cared enough to vote in an election that featured not a single candidate. Kudos to Democrat Commissioner Bob Harper and his coalition of the Republican Liberty Caucus and the Northwest Indiana Patriots who did a lot of his online and activist work for him.
