STA Releases Next Round Of Proposed Cuts

Brace yourself folks. STA has released their next round of proposed cuts for 2011. And my route is on there. I told Joel at STA that I was going to march on the place with torches and pitch forks but I guess the best way to get action would be to submit a public comment. Besides, it looks like it might be so bad. There's another route I can take, it will just take a little longer to get where I'm going.

Here's an article in today's Spokesman-Review on the proposed changes and how you can submit comments regarding them.

Well none of the routes I ride regularly will be cut in the 2011 cuts (all three were cut in the 2010 cuts), so I guess I am pretty lucky. You can comment at several meetings STA is having. Tonight at Airway Heights Council Meeting, Saturday at Prairie Days for the 5 Mile people. Next Week at the Cheney Council Meeting and October 14th for Hillyard, Bemis, Whitman and Minniehaha at Cooper School. STA Has a whole list of public meetings scheduled and the list is on the STA website.

Thanks Charles for helping spread the word. It's important that everyone get to submit their comments on this.
