Thank you to those who came to the SMRT public hearing on November 6. Though it was held at 4:"30 on a weekday when many are working or unable to attend because of transportation issues, a dozen people showed up to have their two minutes' say.
There is one more opportunity to speak, on Monday Nov. 10 at 5 p.m. Though the odds are not good, there's still a possibility to change minds and hearts.
Especially if you live in La Crosse County and/or work with clients, students, patients who use the SMRT in the county, please come if you can.
This is a final budget public input meeting so people will be there to talk about all kinds of budget issues. Doors open at 4:30.
Please come if you can.
If you can't, write to CountyBoardSupervisors@LaCrosseCpunty.org and say, "I cannot come to the November 10 budget hearing, but here is what I would say."
Ironically, a bill is now being circulated in the state legislature to enable Regional Transit Authorities. It will be introduced next month. Please contact our representatives and ask them to co-sponsor the bill being circulated by Rep. Bare and Sen. Roy's.
