Could it be? Is it possible? That our two counties, Pinellas and Hillsborough may eventually be connected by a light rail system? Connecting St Petersburg/Clearwater to Tampa would only make sense - right? Local bus officials are discussing putting the idea to voters in 2010 - WHY WAIT SO LONG?????????????

The discussions were to ask the public for a half cent sales tax to pay for better mass transit, which could include a light rail system. Pinellas County has so much traffic already that I do not understand why we would want to wait until 2010 on something this important. We need this NOW! We need to offer the public better transportation between the two counties! Both the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority and the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit need to get their act together NOW and not wait until 2010 to start something this important!
