[quote user="Ham Radio"] <p>I live just outside Anaheim city limits. Where does the mayor think he's going to get the funds for the monorail?</p><ol><li>Anaheim already has a high occupancy tax on hotel rooms. You can only bleed the tourist business so much.</li><li>City governments in CA cannot unilaterally impose a sales tax. </li><li>County transportation Measure M projects are already allocated countywide, and any attempt to hijack funds would meet with stiff resistance from other cities.</li><li>The State of California doesn't have surplus funds and other cities/counties would likely fight it to protect their pet projects funding.</li><li>The feds are iffy, at best.</li></ol><p>Looks like a financial checkmate to this O.C. resident. </p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Good old Bond issue is how I bet.</p><p>We are financing a new water tower to be built using bonds to finance it for the next 20 years to pay for the thing. Without that water tower we cannot sustain our boomtown growth on that part of town.</p><p>I worry about the Market because there is noise about Bonds going bad.</p><p>Of course someone can step in and make a nice multimillion dollar contribution as long they get to brand the thing.</p>
