In a two-part series, Blueprint America -- with The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer -- looks at budget disasters on both sides of the ledger for public transit agencies.
Proposition M – the half cent sales tax increase that would have gone to fund St. Louis metro – failed at the polls on Nov. 4, 52 percent to 48 percent. Metro will now have to decide if it will follow-through on its threat to cut transit services, including the Call-A-Ride buses.
