Reporter yeah, jim, the idea here is that in ten years time, metro wants to make the rail system a worldclass system, making sure its efficient and safe for riders, but the general manager says in order to do that, hes asking for 500 million every year. Metros general manager, paul wiedefeld, is hoping safe track repairs becom a his mission is focused on preventative maintenance. This is a tenyear plan. And the reality is, equipment, material, facilities, they wear out. Reporter but the plan comes at a cost. Thats why wiedefeld is asking for 500 million annually from dmv taxpayers. That would put annual spending at 1. 5 billion over ten years. One penny for every dollar you spend. Reporter d. C. Councilman jack evans, also the chair of the metro board, says he and the district are on board with the proposal. He says one way to generate the 500 million needed is through a sales tax. There are many ways of getting it, the easiest, fastest is a one cent sales tax on the entire region. But the region has to look at how we can do it. Reporter wiedefeld is looking to cut internally as well. Saying new metro employees wouldnt receive the same benefit and pensions as workers do now. Im suggesting a defined Contribution Program benefits program. Reporter that proposal doesnt sit well with the metro workers union. A spokesperson for local 689 says, instead of offering real proposals to improve the system and win riders back, weed field has, once again, pitted riders against workers in an attempt to balance the agencys budget on the back of w matas hard working employees.
