ALERT: Senator Kit Bond is undermining rail and transit
The Bond Amendment was defeated, thanks to thousands of messages from people like you!
The economic stimulus bill currently before Congress includes $2.2 billion dollars for high speed rail development and $5.5 billion for public transit improvements. Unfortunately, our own Kit Bond is wants to give that money to more highway building.
Kansas City stands to benefit from both programs. Chicago-St. Louis-Kansas City is designated as a future high speed rail corridor. Advocates in Kansas are working to extend passenger rail from Wichita to Kansas City. The KCATA is requesting federal money for a smaller light rail line from Downtown to the Plaza.
All of these and more are in jeopardy if Kit Bond gets his way. Please call today and follow up with an email. Click here get the details and send a message.
