[Colorado-Talk] RTD board meeting tonight

[Julie Reiskin]

The Board will vote to put a measure on the ballot to exempt RTD revenue
from the TABOR cap.  The funds have been exempted but the exemption will
end because some bonds are paid off.  If this does not pass, they will take
a huge hit to their budget.   If this happens we will lose more routes, see
more reduced service and paratransit will go to bare minimum. CCDC is
urging all disability organizations to actively support this initiative.
 I am on a committee working on this.  Would love others to join.  Let me
know if you are interested.
