The folks at AC Transit considered a fare hike earlier this year but decided instead to place a parcel tax on the November ballot.
Note 1: AC Transit provides public bus transportation in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, so mobility-challenged individuals can get to the places they need to go (like schools and social services).
Note 2: A parcel tax is a technique used with some success to circumvent Prop 13 and take more money from property owners.
Now here is one of the more obvious examples of transfer of wealth from the achievers to the non-achievers.
Yes my friends, the Democrats have opened a new front in the battle for transportation justice.
