Bikeboy, I'll look into that if I get a chance.<BR/><BR/>danielo, the link is cool. Thanks. Your pic is scary, though!Julie Fanselowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914548762794031621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38420906.post-85148455259275507912008-03-03T11:23:00.000-07:002008-03-03T11:23:00.000-07:00Idaho's Legislature won't find "love on the bus" -...Idaho's Legislature won't find "love on the bus" - that's for sure!<BR/><BR/>One of Idaho's problems with the "voter initiative" process is - historically if the Legislature doesn't like what the citizens are doing, they just override it the next session. (I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. All those beet farmers and goat ropers "know what's best for us.")<BR/><BR/>I continue to prefer a modest gas tax to fund transit, if the bureaucracy wasn't in the way. Seems the most fair to me. Let the folks who choose to drive their single-occupant vehicles pay a bit more to support those who choose more responsible transportation choices.<BR/><BR/>(Julie - I could SWEAR that in Ada County, there's a slightly higher gas tax, that's used to support the paramedics, or the 911 system, or ACHD, or something like that. I wish you could track it down. For a while, maybe 10 years ago, Boise's gas ran 5 cents more than Nampa's... it's all kinda balanced out again now, as such things tend to do.)Bikeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379272663647894409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38420906.post-81195837107796338012008-03-03T09:50:00.000-07:002008-03-03T09:50:00.000-07:00This is off-topic, and I'd prefer to email this to...This is off-topic, and I'd prefer to email this to you, but cannot find contact info.
