This is steeling scarce Measure R money to fight for a unwanted and unneeded freeway link. South Pasadena is not getting Measure R money to fight this boondoggle. Why is this coalition lobby getting Measure R money? This needs to be stopped now before any additional Measure R money goes to this lobby which in no way qualify's for transit money.

Other cities actually use this pittance for a transportation improvement? I thought the money would be pooled and used to actually do something useful. And to think, MTA had the unmitigated gall to ask for an extension of this tax for another 30 years in this last election. I'm glad Measure J was defeated!!!!
