Comments on: The O’Grady Bill Before the RI House Finance Committee http://www.clf.org/blog/clean-energy-climate-change/ogrady-bill-before-ri-house-finance-committee/ For a thriving New England Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:21:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: barry http://www.clf.org/blog/clean-energy-climate-change/ogrady-bill-before-ri-house-finance-committee/#comment-2184 barry Mon, 07 May 2012 18:15:45 +0000 http://www.clf.org/?p=9280#comment-2184 I appreciate that the CLF is working on this. At a $4 million projected deficit, the cuts RIPTA outlined last year were bad enough - loss of holiday, much weekend, and evening services, some lines cancelled entirely or cut back in length - at a projected $8 million deficit for next year it will be considerably worse. As of now, this is the only bill before the RI Assembly to address the deficit so I think transit users really do need to show support, by showing up at the hearing even if not testifying formally.
