PHOENIX – An Oct. 23 Cronkite News story about Prop. 479, which would continue a half-cent sales tax for Maricopa County transportation, miscast what $14.9 billion in tax revenue through 2045 would fund. It would help to create 28.3 miles of bus routes as well as new traditional and HOV freeway lanes and help to maintain the light rail system. Federal and local funds would be used to create 11.9 new miles of light rail.
