Know how to raise billions of dollars for public transportation? Metro wants to chat with you today at noon in their third live internet chat.
"Tell Metro Board Chair and Santa Monica City Council Member Pam O'Connor where you think the money should come from to pay for future transit projects and keep the system running," a press release states. "Should it be a half cent sales tax? Public/private partnerships? Parking fees? Toll roads? Or something entirely different"

I attempted to participate in the first MTA "chat" several months back and from the combination of my question being totally and repeatedly ignored to all the canned PR-flavored answers to the other questions I won't be lunching with the MTA again anytime soon.
Will, i would submit to their media relations people and see what happens.
