What happened
A report criticized RTC staff for pursuing studies that were deemed poorly executed, specifically referencing millions spent on worthless studies for the Rail Trail. This criticism was raised in the context of a county needing voters to approve Measure E, a tax increase for emergency services, to address financial shortfalls.
Why it matters
The report details that the county has spent more revenue than it has received for the past three years. The financial crisis is being addressed by proposing a tax increase, while critics question the county's spending habits and large salary increases.
