The House Transportation Committee takes up the issue of a transit sales tax tomorrow. According to the News & Observer:

Triangle House and Senate members didn’t go along with their Charlotte colleagues in 1997, but this time a lot of them are ready to get on the bus.

Most Wake, Durham and Orange legislators say they are ready to let local voters decide for themselves — yes or no — whether they should pay a half-penny sales tax to help build a strong local and regional network of buses, streetcars and trains.
