From our friends at MEP Partnership:
The Minnesota Legislature is meeting right now in special session to finish their must-pass budget bills. Unfortunately, some legislators are trying to pass a raid on clean transportation funding at the eleventh hour - even though they had an agreement to maintain funding.
This raid is unacceptable - it would slow down the growth of bus service and safe infrastructure for biking, walking, and rolling for much of our state.
That’s bad news for our state’s economy, for community health and safety, and for our climate - transportation is our number one source of carbon emissions.
But these cuts don’t have to move forward! Legislators still have time to do the right thing and stick with their original agreement to keep investing in clean transportation.
But they need to hear from you now.
Please take a minute to use our action tool to message your Legislators and ask them to pass a transportation bill that protects clean transportation. Feel free to customize the message to fit your personal story!
