Facilitate taxpayer-subsidized metro-region “light rail” creation

Introduced in the House

May 30, 2013

Introduced by Rep. Adam Zemke (D-55)

To repeal a requirement that to start a taxpayer-subsidized “light rail” system there must be a unanimous vote by the 10-member board of the Detroit Regional Transit Authority authorized by a 2012 law. Under the bill, a simple majority of the board could establish a mass transit rail system.
