On Monday morning, local elected leaders and representatives of many organizations, including TRU, gathered for a press conference to urge state legislators to pass local transit funding options in this session. If they don’t, King County Metro will be facing 17% cuts again next year.
House Bill 1959, the best hope for Metro, awaits a floor vote in the house. The deadline is Wednesday at 5:00 pm, and it’s not at all certain to get enough votes. Here are some represtentatives who need your encouragement. If it’s after hours, you can call and leave a message:
43rd Rep. Frank Chopp 1-360-786-7920
47th Rep. Pat Sullivan 1-360-786-7858
24th Rep. Kevin Van De Wege 1-360-786 -7916
