Action Alert! Contact Your Legislator Today to Oppose Senate Transportation Bill 1164

May 19, 2010 12:34

You are strongly urged to contact your Michigan legislator today in the House of Representatives to oppose Senate Transportation Bill 1164.  Yesterday the Republican-led Senate approved Senate Bill 1164 on a 21-17 vote.  The budget bill includes harmful cuts but no stable revenue sources in an attempt to come up with the $84 million Michigan needs to qualify for $475 million in federal matching transportation funds.  The bill now goes to the House Appropriations Committee for action.

Here's two easy ways to contact your legislator: 

1. Call 888-719-3087 to be automatically connected with your legislator's office.
2. Visit the Contact Your Legislator Section of www.drivemi.org for an easy way to e-mail a message to your legislator after selecting your county location.
