The adults are trying to have an intelligent discussion. TARTA got caught illegally funding a pro-TARTA political action committee. The entire corrupt management team of TARTA should be fired immediately. Stephanie: Take your class envy and clueless comments over to the daily kos.

TARTA is the perfect example of the old adage "Nothing lasts forever except a government program." TARTA service to Rossford and Perrysburg served the need in the past. It does not do so now. Stephanie, I encourage you to cross the river into Wood County and see the empty buses driving around. You as a TARTA tax paying constituent should be outraged over this. Even the latest route changes have done little to change this problem. TARTA, like pretty much every public agency is a solution in search of a problem. Why would you deny my right to have my elected officials seek other methods of providing community service? Amen to Richard.

TARTA, is nothing more than a woefully inefficient , polluting boondoggle ! Sadly, paid for by hard working citizens who are becoming fewer and fewer who are TAXED TO DEATH , by wasteful Demonrats !!! Stand up Perrysburg, against Lucas County / Little Detroit, FASCISM !! Dear Richard, Point, Game, and Match, against the absurd post you replied to.

Perrysburg residents have voted against TARTA over and over again but their voices are not being heard. TARTA thus is undemocratic. Secondly, if we were to assume that Perrysburg were discriminating against lower class citizens then why is Perrysburg proposing their own alternative to TARTA? Thirdly, using your logic, wouldn't Swanton, BG, Whitehouse, Lambertville, and other outlying cities also be discriminating against lower class people because its obvious that they are not TARTA members. Also studies have shown that TARTA is underused in Perrysburg. People from Toledo already do not use the transit system enough! This is a waste of taxpayer dollars! Empty buses traverse their routes polluting the air! In the end it boils down to TARTA greedily wanting to keep lucrative Perrysburg tax money. I'm just saying how I see it.

I agree with Mr. Gee, it would be terrible for this to pass for many reasons.
