I think the bus strike is a bit more of a social issue than most think. Insane healthcare costs are carving out a larger part of peoples income every year. The whole renegoitation is heavily focused on healthcare costs. Instead of fixing healthcare, employees are slowly being gutted of their income and health coverage. It might be a better idea to focus on real healthcare change. Recently the Minnesota Citizens Forum on Health Care Costs released their final report at: http://www.mncitizensforum.org/minnesota_citizens_forum_reports_.htm It might be interesting to use a statewide list and focus on comments to the report. > As far as we can tell, buses are just about the only metro-wide > governance function that is visible to average folks.
