<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto"><div>Hello, all. In addition to the hearing on Wednesday, March 4 is a budget hearing for the Maryland Transit Administration. The hearing takes place at 1:00, but I do not know the location as of yet. Nonetheless, if anyone is able to attend, it would mean a lot for transit riders across the state. As many people as possible need to be there to demonstrate to the legislators that mass transit is a vital component of the state's transportation infrastructure, and benefits everyone. If you have any questions about the hearing, feel free to contact me off-list. <br><br>Regards, <div>David Bouchard</div></div><div><br>On Feb 25, 2015, at 10:39 AM, nfbmd via Nfbmd <<a href="mailto:nfbmd@nfbnet.org">nfbmd@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
