Dear (Contact First Name),

 

Change in our Panel! 
 
Friday the 13th we learned that PennDOT Secretary Barry Schoch now must remain in Harrisburg Sept. 25th. Governor Corbett has asked to meet with him. So Schoch regretfully has had to bow out of our "Invest NOW" Forum.

In a happier reversal, renowned pollster Terry Madonna stepped forward Friday to join the panel. He will bring us the latest in analysis of the public mood. In addition to Dr. Madonna our panel now consists of

Representative Kate Harper,
Montco Commissioner Leslie Richards and SEPTA General Manager Joe Casey.

They will make the case for adequate transportation funding legislation. 

 

While transportation funding always seems to be in crisis mode here in Pennsylvania, the current situation is especially extreme, especially momentous. 

 

And PenTrans believes we all should do everything we can to encourage passage of an adequate transportation funding bill this year.  

 

We believe our Sept. 25th Forum falls within a crucial window of opportunity: though the legislature must yet wrestle with conflicting interests and political division, this is the time when wisdom and reason can help move our lawmakers to a favorable decision.  

  

But many voices must be heard!  

  

Details and Registration Here  

  

Please register promptly before we run out of space.
