I live in a city whose residents voted to increase local taxes specifically for libraries. There was nothing in the text of the ballot stating that if we did not vote for the measure, the funding would go to increase service on the Sunset Limited or restore the Desert Wind and Pioneer routes.
The choice you presented exists only in your wildest fantasies.
Getting back to reality, the Federal Railroad Administration has begun a long-distance passenger train study. This includes both restoring service which was previously discontinued (i.e. Desert Wind and Pioneer) and running daily service on routes which presently have less than daily service (i.e. Sunset Limited).
Lastly why is it that you single out libraries for hosting events with drag queens, but when there are events on public streets, you give the latter a pass?
