ITEM 5 - PUBLIC COMMENT
Newt Vaughan, 8663 W Hawaii Drive expressed his thanks to Councilmembers Herbst, Elliott and Booher for having the courage to stand up to their convictions in expressing caution regarding the proposed expenditure of $8 billion for Fastracks. He said Councilman Elliott encouraged the Council to take a real good look at the proposal and that the Council should have done that rather than just rubber-stamp spending that kind of money. Mr. Vaughan asked people to consider how often they will actually use the service before voting on the proposal and whether they are willing to pay the bill. He stated that there is also a proposal being developed about doing away with TABOR and commented that TABOR is the only thing that rides control over our government in Colorado today. He urged people to evaluate whether or not they are getting value for the money being spent.
Since there were no other speakers, the public comment hearing was closed.
