No Gold Line; then no sales tax and No Toll lanes! Refuse taxation without representation. Don't buy big ticket items in LA County, use the internet. And just revolt and disregard the toll lanes. If you get a ticket don't pay. It will only work if everyone joins in.

We need a succession movement from Los Angeles now. Those criminals will keep riding us for taxes until we're dead.

Who ever puts together a succession movement from Los Angeles will get honored with a statue at both ends of the SGV. The SGV has enough money to become the next Orange County and can be great if we use our money on ourselves. We should annex the unincorporated areas of LA that are a blight in our communities, fix them up and have nothing to do with Los Angeles County except maybe contract with them for emergency services when needed. We pay an arm and a leg for those services anyway.

It is as clear as day now. The SGV makes the money. We pay taxes. LA country takes money. They are tax takers. We give; they take and give it to anyone in LA County but us. That is the only relationship we have with LA County. Most recently they have been bullied by the San Fernando Valley mafia after this area ran a successful succession movement. Good for them, bad for us.

These bastards in LA City Hall and at the MTA think we are too complacent and stupid to put together a succession movement. LA County and those city hall bribe taking crooks think we are nothing more than a bunch of do nothing aging W.A.S.P’s coupled with gullible money making immigrants. Let’s pack our shit and leave and see how well they do when the gravy train stops.

Take it easy poster!

This is just another political ploy by big time investors and bankers alike! Nasty politics has once again raised it's ugly head, more for the political ME and NOTHING for the MASSes. That means rights of the majority!

I believe what I see with my own eyes. If you've got a differing theory go into detail about it.

Get in line an watch the slimy politicans slither away with money in their pocket an non in the kitty for the Gold Line?

Whats missing here is a reality check, for the voters who decide the fate an direction of the extension, these souls had not found a way to strip any money off the top over this extension and until they do then an only then will they allow this extension to proceed.

You know, we are supposed to be finding ways to combat high fuel prices and what do we get.

We get carpool lane taxes on freeways we already paid for years ago. These taxes are not for new freeways as was the case in Orange County. So where the hell is the money going?

We also get a sales tax with nothing to show for. These guys at LA city hall get 20% pay raises and more money to piss away while we get killed at the pump. Outrageous, we want out now!
