Miracle Mile Forum Pushes Subway to the Sea

Councilmember LaBonge joined Assemblymember Mike Feuer and transportation officials at the day-long, "Wilshire Corridor Forum III: Are We Ready for the Subway?"
About 75 business and community leaders from the Wilshire area said they're ready for the subway and want to see it funded. The councilmember said he supports a half-cent increase in the sales tax to fund the subway.
"It's going to be a long road to the subway down Wilshire, but we better get on it," the Councilmember said. "Hopefully people will see the need to make this half-cent investment. I'm going to vote for it and I hope everyone else does, too."
The sales tax initiative may be on the November ballot.
