Those who are genuinely concerned about the proposed transportation sales tax measure are invited to attend this Saturday's meeting of Southern California Transit Advocates, where Metro Board member Pam O'Connor will be the guest speaker. Our meetings are held in the 4th floor community room of Angelus Plaza, 311 S. Hill St., one block north of Pershing Square Red/Purple Line Station (the location is also served by several bus lines, including 4, 10, 81 and 94). The meeting begins at 1:00pm.

I'm guessing this is how Antonovich saw it going down: Everyone votes on party lines, the measure passes to the benefit of the community, and he gets his political cover for opposing taxes. Now it's his fault for letting a popular measure fail. Whoops.
