If approved, Proposition A would also trigger quarter-cent tax increase in the city. All told, the tax hike would raise $70-$80 million a year for Metro, which plans to use the funds to resume bus routes canceled last year (after a similar ballot issue failed in November 2008) and for future MetroLink expansion.
