Kewl, some comment systems such as the one now used at Creative Loafing are now allowing You Tube video insertions.  You know what that means: Video responses! 

My You Tube Video Response

See the real world article as it appears here. 

The "demand for facts" thing is basically a transit-opponent's playbook routine to hamper the progress of a transit referendum.  The mere decleration suggests that "facts" will be somehow be hidden from the referendum's pitch.  Frankly, to me, it seems like a technique devised pre-web from the 80s or 90s that is being clumsily deployed in this debate.  Probably by old-fart Ralph Hughes types who found some success with it when people didn't have the same quality access to information that they do now. 

Thanks to modern times, however, I think the "facts" will actually be well documented online - alongside any soundbites we can expect.

By the way, the letter I'm responding to was written by a one George Niemann who's part of local group identifying itself as the "United Citizens Action Network".  A peruse of the group's website shows they aren't particularly anti-tax (and, they seem to regard Brian Blair as one of the worst mistakes in Hillsborough government, in fact, so how evil can they really be?).  We can leave room for the very minute possibility they aren't just trying to cause trouble and they really think that someone somewhere is going might try to "bamboozle" the public.  But even as an innocent paranoid stance, it still doesn't make much sense - people know this is going to be one of the heaviest projects Hillsborough County has ever undertaken.  They know it will be expensive but time and time again they have said that they support it anyway.  What's to hide then?

In any event, here's the You Tube video I posted.
