Santa Cruz County Democratic led legislators are more concerned with having "dinner" than fiscal responsibility. With budget cuts to county services including the courts, the schools, public services and community support organizations, Supervisors are running around giving speeches at public events to buy a defunct rail line from Davenport to Pajaro, dubbed the "dinner train." The cost? $14+ million!!!
In these hard economic times it is not wise for Santa Cruz to spend millions they don't have for a frivolous project while the homeless and unemployed populations rapidly expand. The rail line which is adjacent to homes in many areas has homeowners concerned. It appears the priority of Santa Cruz politicians continues to be spend now, pay later. The idea that the County needs dinner on a train to nowhere when so many are going hungry and homeless shows a political landscape out of touch with the people they serve. A touch bite to chew. Bon Appetite!
Rail line purchase moves closer to finish
