Greetings Citizens League supporters:
This is the first edition of the Citizens League's new email newsletter. We hope this new format will make our emails easier to read.
(Is this email hard to read? Many
email programs require users to right-click and give permission to
download pictures. Doing this should greatly improve the appearance of
this email.)
Over the next couple months, we will be testing out various options for the format and content of these newsletters, and we would greatly appreciate your feedback. Please take a moment to let us know what you think.
Thank you!

Policy Advancement in the 2008 Legislative Session
Important Citizens League positions were advanced through legislation in the 2008 session, including:
- Reducing congestion along the 35W corridor with the Urban Partnership Agreement. The UPA is going forward, thanks to $55 million in state funds to match a federal contribution of $133 million.
- The University of Minnesota will receive funding to study value capture, recommended by our 2005 report "Driving Blind" as a mechanism to fund transportation investments.
- Important progress in tax and health care policy.

Reader feedback is very important as we test out various options for the new email newsletter. We want this to be useful and easy to read.
Please take a moment to give us criticism and suggestions. (It's very short -- only 4 questions long.)

as an occasional feature of the new Citizens League newsletter as a way for us
to take advantage of our members' good thinking and great ideas.
