The T system's financial struggles have led Lawrence City Commissioners to discuss the need for a new sales tax if the public transit system is to continue. Commissioners have placed two separate transit sales tax questions on the November ballot: Question #2 is a 0.2 percent to support public transit and capital investment and a Question #3 is a 0.05 sales tax to expand public transportation..
