Burger: County taxes don't have brackets. There's sales tax, car tax, restaurant tax and property tax. All of which are on a flat rate percentage of a basis. They aren't progressive.

The whole county pays to support Metro, Metrobus, ART (buses), libraries, schools, parks, police and fire department. The whole county paid to support building Metro through the Orange line corridor. Time to upgrade Columbia Pike.

The return on investment document uses assumptions for increase in land value and development to show how we are going to pay for the operating cost. $8 million a year to subsidize a transit line with as much capacity as this one is going to have is not too shabby.
