An estimated $3.4 million in funding will go towards improving the public image of Charlotte’s public transportation system following recent violence on the CATS light rail.
Monday night, the Charlotte City Council unanimously approved plans to enter into a one-year contract with Sherry Matthews Group for marketing and communication services. Officials started searching for a firm about a month after the death of Iryna Zarutska on the Blue Line.
Now days after the most recent light rail stabbing, the city is continuing efforts to improve public perception and encourage people to use public transit.
“It is outrageous that rather than fixing the problem of violent crime that is literally killing people, the Charlotte City Council wants to spend $3.4 million on public relations consultants,” said South Carolina congressman and gubernatorial candidate Ralph Norman following the decision. “What a slap in the face to law enforcement and the taxpayers of Charlotte. I have already called on the mayor to resign, and it might be time for the city council to follow suit.”
Also at the Monday night meeting, city leaders are moving forward with an almost $18 million contract with Stacy Witbeck to construct a new light rail station and Rail Trail improvements on the Blue Line between the New Bern and East/West Boulevard Stations. Initially, on March 24, the city council approved the contract with Stacy Witbeck to purchase materials needed for construction for $3,591,998.
The construction work will include a pedestrian track crossing, track crossover, overhead catenary system improvements, rail signal system improvements, and electrical and communications cabinets. The new total value of the contract, including this contract amendment, is $21,566,485.

Propaganda.
Like the decks of sail-powered warships, they can paint the seats and floor of the busses and light rail cars red, to mask the bloodstains.

They might try doing something seldom done in DemocRAt third-world cities...enforcing the law and sending illegals back home...to THEIR home, not ours.
“Should we spend money to improve public transit?”
“No. That would be stupid. Why would we do that?”
“Should we spend money to improve the image of public transit?”
“Absolutely!”
They are trying to lure in new naive white victims for the criminals.
Just make it FREE! Problem solved.
It would take less money to secure the trains.
Maybe spend the money on security instead??

“Ride our public transportion. Odds are you won’t get killed!”
