Gardner asks TARTA to continue service in Perrysburg

Posted: Updated:
PERRYSBURG, Ohio -

TARTA is being accused of "taxation without transportation" in Perrysburg. The Toledo Blade reports Bowling Green State Representative Randy Gardner charges the transportation service with unfair practices, if voters choose to opt out of TARTA in March.

Voters will have the chance to decide if the city should continue its relationship with TARTA. If the referendum passes, the city would lose TARTA around October, but tax dollars have already paid through the end of the year.
