"I want to applaud members of the House Mass Transit Committee for
accepting my change to their bill so that senior citizens will have
some relief from the impact of higher sales taxes. The bill
lawmakers sent me was not one I supported, because of its reliance
on a sales tax hike. But with the change I made, letting seniors
ride public transportation for free, it's a better bill and one that
will avoid massive service cuts, fare hikes and layoffs on Sunday. I
urge members of the full House of Representatives and the Senate to
join the Transit Committee members in voting 'yes' tomorrow."
