A Kansas City Council committee today rejected transit activist Clay Chastain’s latest proposal for a light rail ballot measure.

The council’s Transportation and Infrastructure Committee recommended against placing Chastain’s light rail plan on the February ballot, saying it is woefully under-funded and is impossible to implement. The full council considers Chastain’s proposal on Sep. 29.
