For years the City of Tempe has been planning a streetcar.\u00a0 The routes have changed.\u00a0 They plan to use “free” money from the federal government.\u00a0 They don’t have the money to maintain the streetcar. It’s another feather in somebody’s cap, or an under-the-table deal of some sort.\u00a0 There are endless excuses from Council to construct the streetcar.\u00a0 Maybe the bike lane hoopla was to be a distraction for the\u00a0overtaxed residents, all the while the streetcar project can be firmed up behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
To get an update, TaxedInTempe googled “Mackenzie Keller Tempe Streetcar”\u00a0 (Mackenzie Keller is one of six, count them, six public information officers for Tempe.)\u00a0 Here are some links that popped up:<\/p>\n
Here is an invitation to another streetcar meeting:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/taxedintempe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streetcar-links.png\")
<\/a>Here is what appeared when we clicked on both of the above links:<\/p>\n<\/a>Oops is right!!\u00a0 We are paying Ms. Keller who knows how much money to speak for a streetcar that isn’t born yet and the minutes from two recent meetings are missing.\u00a0\u00a0Is she not doing her job or is there information\u00a0the\u00a0City of Tempe doesn’t want us to see?<\/p>\n
