> Greetings,
> 
> Just another reminder that our Day at the Capitol will be this
> Thursday.  We will meet as we have for years in the Old Supreme Court
> Chambers, which is Room 220 of the Capitol.  However, this will be an
> afternoon event, starting at 12:30 p.m.  The room is reserved until
> noon, so please be respectful if you arrive before 12:00 that the room
> may be in use.
> 
> 
> After a short meeting, we will fan out across the Capitol in groups to
> deliver our message and our packets.  Newsline funding is in the Long
> Bill, and that bill has moved to the House, having passed the Senate.
> Our message – keep funding Newsline!
> 
> We are also talking to Legislators about the big Transportation
> funding bill, HB 1242.  The bill calls for an election to vote on
> razing state sales tax by just over half a cent.  Part of this funding
> focuses on transit and multi-modal transportation.  Multi-modal means
> things like Bustang or even commuter rail that reaches beyond the
> immediate Mero area.  These are things that could definitely benefit
> blind Coloradans if the bill passes.
> 
> See you on Thursday!
