I just thought I'd share a study that was released this > week that might help answer the question. I took very brief look at the study and saw that the second highest budget cost (almost equal to housing, the top cost) was for owning and operating a car (pickup, SUV, whatever). It has been my occasional experience that going without a car is a great help in living within a limited budget. If Winona is serious in its concern for the "working poor", it might consider measures that would make automobile ownership not such a necessity. John N.
