Greetings,

Yesterday, legislators returned to the State Capitol to start the 2006 legislative session. The bonding bill, which is expected to include funding for construction of Northstar Commuter Rail, will likely be a primary focus of discussion. This is a critical session for Northstar.

Join other supporters and transportation advocates in showing support for Northstar during a rally at the State Capitol on Monday, March 13. 

Rally at the Capitol
Monday, March 13, 2006, 10–10:30 a.m.
Capitol Rotunda
75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.
St. Paul, MN

Let us know if you can attend here: http://ga3.org/northstar/events/rally/details.tcl?member_key=na25bbmdn&

A strong turnout will let legislators know that securing this next piece of funding for Northstar is important to get the commuter train operating in 2009.

Contact your legislators and urge them to support Northstar funding: http://ga3.org/campaign/ontrack/na25bbmdn?

Your involvement will help show legislators that Minnesotans want this viable transportation alternative.  For more information, call 763-323-5700. Thank you!
