The cut to MCTS in regular transit aids is $6.8 million, with only $1.45 million made up for in paratransit assistance, and other programs MCTS relies on are also reduced. It also doesn't include the federal cuts that the D.C. baggers want, which are coming as well, nor does it include any help for increased gas prices (about another $1.7 million hit).<br /><br /> Oh wait, they can always just pass a sales tax and use RTA money to make up for these cuts- OH, NO RTA! Or maybe they can use extra shared revenues....NOPE that's cut as well. But tey'll get savings from the health benefits..OH, already was in the Milw.
