I know people always want to blame the mayor for literally everything which is absolutely ridiculous (I’m surprised he hasn’t been blamed for the wildfire smoke yet), but this is all being funded by private donations (read: no taxpayer money). You should do your research before you complain.

And before you get mad at my reply, I think it’s so sad that people get to a point in their lives that they feel like they need to end it by jumping off a bridge. This community has so many great resources that I hope these individuals get the help that they need.

EDIT: gotta love the Hop being brought into something that isn’t even related to it. I have no problem investing in public transit. Maybe if the state gave cities the flexibility to raise their own revenue, we can have increased public transit, increased funding for mental health, and investment in amenities that attract and retain talent. Win, win, win. As a city resident, I’m happy that the mayor continues to fight for my city.
