This survey is bogus. It only allows choices for how to spend money assuming the tax passes. It doesn’t allow for opposition to the tax. We don’t need more taxes. We need more responsible stewardship of the taxes we already pay

As long as the state keeps wasting billions of our taxpayer dollars on this high-speed rail boondoggle, there will be very, very little money left for any transportation projects, or anything else important, for that matter. High-speed rail is a boondoggle, a huge waste of money, because there has not been even one study that shows that California's high-speed rail project will satisfy any present-day demands for transit.

So this study is a complete waste of time and money.

Will this tax add any Samtrans buses to Portola Valley and Woodside? The only bus that runs there is for school children only. I would like to work in either of those towns, but there is no public transportation, nor can I get to my doctor in Ladera. Example: I do nursing care and would like to work at The Sequoias. No bus service. Why? For a town that doesn't want so many cars (or affordable housing) how will workers get there?
