Attend the Final County Board Budget Hearing on Monday

The final public hearing on the 2012 Milwaukee County Budget before it’s passed in two weeks is coming up on Monday evening. Bus riders and supporters need to come out to tell their supervisors that they’re not happy with the one-time, short-term budget fix that Executive Abele has based his transit budget on, and that long-term funding problems require sustainable solutions.

Representatives from the Transit Riders Union will attend, and also speak on record on behalf of the union’s membership.
