But to spend money, but to spend it in the right way. And then as i analyzed and had when i was on the counsel, the very negative funding for us is property tax. If you raise property tax they want to hang you by the nearest tree. If theres not a tree, theyll just run over you with their pick up truck either way. But you dont mess with property tax, so i got our city out of the property tax business. We fund our city basically by two sources.

They want to be able to take transit but they want to be technical savvy. They want to pull up the next bus locator and see when the bus comes. Texas is hot. Fort worth is 110 in july and august. And you dont want to stand on the corner looking for your bus. You want to be able to be in your office or in your home and say, oh, here it comes all i got to do is walk down the street and catch it. And were beginning to get there. The federal government has helped with some of that. But its also got to be a ride that appeals to people. Theyve got to be able to put their bicycle on the front, which they currently cant, hop on the bus, go to work, take their bike
