Is more money for recreational trails so important that we don't mind losing the store and everything inside? I certainly hope not.
Apparently, the bill is a done deal, no thanks to trail supporters. Mike Neuman ---------- Forwarded Message ------------ To Friends of the Earth's Allied Transportation Activists - The massive, multi-billion dollar federal transportation bill is currently in the final stages of the congressional process. It is bloated with pet projects for politicians and handouts to the highway industry, while rolling back key environmental laws and giving transit the short end of the stick. Friends of the Earth has summarized the bill's major rollbacks in this TRANSPORTATION POLICY MEMO. http://www.foe.org/camps/eco/transportation/tea/activistmemo.html These radical changes to the Clean Air Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, wildlife protections, and other key laws will significantly limit the role citizens and local groups like those you work with can play in defeating bad transportation projects and promoting good ones. We urge you to take action by calling or writing your Congressperson and Senator. If you have any questions, you can contact me at 202-222-0747 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for all your hard work and support!
