Getting to end of the night here (I think? I hope?) and it's been a really interesting scene, switching back and forth between pro-transit talk from riders and anti-wealth tax talk from business owners (wealth tax as well as RIPTA bills up for hearing tonight). Story coming!

What happened to me was deeply private, and I HATE talking about it. I only shared it publicly in hopes that it might help someone. The hardest part of this experience has been learning how many other women he hurt after me, in almost the exact same way. 1/5

Great budget summary from Nancy Lavin. For context on RIPTA, this plan still leaves them at a $17M deficit, similar to last year's hole which would have lead to major cuts to fixed-route service (which you can read a little bit about at the link) ecori.org/riders-beg-rip…
