Metro tax heads back to ballot in St. Louis CountyST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
CLAYTON — Metro officials say they will cut half of the agency's transit service in Missouri if St. Louis County voters reject a half-cent sales tax on April 6.The St. Louis County Council on Monday formally put that tax proposal on the ballot, allowing voters to decide whether to provide about $75 million a year to allow Metro to restore service cuts and expand the system. The vote was 4-3.
St. Louis County voters narrowly defeated a half-cent transit tax in November 2008.
Robert Baer, president and chief executive officer of the transit agency, said half the money from the tax would go to restore service and operate the agency and half for transit expansion.
