Simply as a means to a speedy end to this strike, I would encourage folks to tell your legislators to support the Hornstein / Dibble proposal at the Legislature to increase transit funding by $10 million, in order to help settle the strike.
But with a major caveat The bill should be ushered through fast, to see if it has any chance of passage. The transit dependent's interest doesn't lie in political maneuvers at the Legislature that benefit union drivers, they just want a ride to work and to the doctor. If we are going to have to wait weeks for an answer, forget it, its not worth it. Settle now, legislate later.
