[nfbmi-talk] story on smart bus cuts public hearing

[Robert Rehahn And Martin]

You can count me in! I want to see Smart transportation in Rochester and Rochester Hills area. Senora and myself and Vernon Griffen attended a city council meeting in Rochester Hills four (4) years ago and voiced our concerns about getting bus service rinstated. They listened to us but that was about it. I agree that it would be an excellent project for the new NAGDU chapter to take on!
