Vote Against Repeal If you care about the environment because:

• Charlotte has a serious air quality problem.
• Congestion is a major cause of air pollution in Charlotte.
• A quality transit system attracts tens of thousands of people out of their cars.
• We need to take many incremental steps to fight global warming and clean our air.
• Providing travel choices for people commuting makes sense.
• There are no new taxes needed to build the future transit system.
• Light rail and quality bus service are important tools needed for better land use, planning and fighting urban sprawl.
• Higher property taxes will be needed to replace the sales tax, taking money away from parks and other public services.
• Pressure will be on to build more highways and further damage our environment.
• Improving public transit is the right thing to do for Charlotte's future.
