MUNI Budget Accountability PRESS CONFERENCE

Taojing — Wed, 03 May 2006 07:42:48 GMT

Friends and allies, This Wednesday, May 3 at 12:30 on the steps of City Hall, come join Supervisors Chris Daly, Ross Mirkarimi, the Bike Coalition, Walk SF, Coalition for Transit Justice, Transportation for a Livable City, the Tenant's Union, Senior Action Network, the Sierra Club, and a bunch of other folks to fight to make sure there's no more fare hikes or service cuts for Muni! You all remember the battle against fare hikes and service cuts last year. This year, the MTA's budget avoids hikes or cuts, but doesn't seek any new sources of revenue to make sure fares don't keep rising and Muni lines don't keep getting cut. This needs to change! Following the rally at 12:30, the Budget and Finance Committee will address the MTA's budget. We're asking the Committee to tell the MTA to start seeking progressive sources of revenue NOW to ensure there's transit justice for San Francisco's future. Let's make sure the MTA budget is no longer balanced on the backs of low-income people, communities of color, disabled people, seniors, and youth! E-mail Casey Mills at millsryancasey@yahoo.com with any questions. Looking forward to seeing you all there.
