Listen to ‘RTD Off the Rails’

by John Andrews
June 17th, 2009

RTD and its Fastracks rail system are a mess. In his June 11 radio special, John Andrews asked why. The podcast is now up.

As you remember, a big tax increase was proposed, then postponed. RTD’s general recently quit and left town. So what put this thing so far over budget? If we raise taxes again, what reason is there to trust the agency for this time? And what are the affordable alternatives for metro mobility that special interests ignore?

Click here to listen to “Under the Dome: RTD Off the Rails.” This is John’s hour-long conversation with State Rep. Spencer Swalm, a specialist in market solutions for transportation… Kevin Holst, Denver attorney and citizen activist… and Jon Caldara, former RTD board chairman who’s now president of the Independence Institute.

It’s the latest in our monthly series on key issues for Coloradans.
