Expect the corporate propaganda machine to be in full operation for support especially since their 10% contribution was taken out of SB 176. Marion County townships can opt in even if the plan is rejected by the County by having their own referendum but at the cost of an increased local tax if approved. If riders are required to contribute 25% of the cost for the Red Line, it would seem that taxpayers would pay 75% of their ticket price to get them there.
