<br /> --.. <br />Davidson: Randy, your comment about too early, we have been a <br /> member of the Authority for I think about five years <br /> and so to me, I don't think we are too early, I think we <br /> are too late. I think we should have answered this <br /> questions a long time ago. As far as educating the <br /> people on the pros and cons of W -4 70, three years ago <br /> they voted on it and unless they've all completely wiped <br /> their memory out they still must have some memory of <br /> that. I'm pretty sure they can make an intelligent <br /> decision based on the information they have. There <br /> hasn't been any change, that I know of, of what the <br /> Authority is proposing. It is still the same route, it is <br /> still toll road and combination of some form of taxation <br /> on residents, including the residents of Louisville. I <br /> think that is a pretty clear issue. Should Louisville <br /> maintain its membership in the Authority or not. If at <br /> some future date the Authority is needed by Louisville <br /> the Authority doesn't cease to exist, it just looses its <br /> power over Louisville. Louisville at some future date <br /> could rejoin if it decided it liked the Authority's <br /> proposal. At this point, I don't like the Authority's <br /> proposal and I don't want W -4 70 running through <br /> Louisville and I sure as heck don't want to pay taxes to <br /> build it. I think there is a strong sentiment out there in <br /> the community for that. I think we should allow the <br /> people who live in town the right to make the choice <br /> since the Council is divided. <br />Sackett: I am respectful of that. I on the other hand think there <br /> are some problems with the Authority, but I do want <br /> W-470. I am willing to pay taxes and need to be able to <br /> express my opinion and the one question doesn't allow <br /> me to do that. I know that there are others who have <br /> similar ideas to mine and need to have the opportunity <br /> to express themselves on the ballot. That's why I think <br /> it is not fair to just have the one question. <br />Howard: What are your two questions? <br />Sackett: If you wanted to limit it to two, I would be willing to <br /> leave the first one as your suggested and the second one <br /> would be, do you support the construction of a beltway <br /> connecting E-470 with C-470? <br /> 10 <br /> -- <br />
