In just a few hours we need everyone who can to attend the Eastern Breakout Session on Transportation between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. at the Ferlazzo Building... details in this link:

and to participate in the discussion at 7:00 on Toll Roads... here is the agenda for that

At this point, do we even need to say why you should be there?

Clark: We will provide 20 highly shined silver VRE cars and 40 new, 45MPH max grade climbing, metro buses if we get the deal.
Fluor: The problem isn't VRE cars or busses. We propose to give $250M, in cash, all unmarked small bills, to the Commonwealth Transportation Commission so that they may clearly see that our proposal is far superior.

SuzAnne, you are right. I frankly was disgusted with the obvious (apparently legal) "bribes" being offered. This really is a scandal of enormous proportions.
As for the turnout, it was very disappointing to me. I think only about 30? slugs were there. So for all of you folks that didn't bother coming, you probably harmed our cause. Hope you had a good reason for not being there because this is major.

Bob-- I am so glad to read that you also interpreted the immediate providing of money as "obvious bribes." Frankly, I came very close to mentioning that last night when I addressed the group... but chickened out in the end.
I also was very disappointed in the lack of turn out. I also tried to count, and I estimated no more than 30. Of course the weather didn't help--
Did the county do enough to get the word out? Hmmm-- don't think so...
Next up is the VDOT Advisory Panel meeting in PWC, the only one designed for public commentary.... NOTE: SaveHOV.org web page lists a different date for that meeting than VDOT's page.... I think VDOT may have changed the date? Hmmmm bait and switch???
Just wondering.....[?]

What I love is when Groat says that when we understand the proposals we'll be all for it.
My answer to him is, when you understand I95, then you'll see why we aren't for it.
I suppose we must have looked pretty stupid to him last night.

You have to get the word out. Stand by for the next meeting and sh**, send out the spam too.
Robert,
You can add my email address to any contacts you have regarding HOT.

Sheepish - I'll get SaveHov.org updated tonight or tomorrow sometime with correct date. I would have to guess they changed the date, because when I originally created that page I just copy and pasted from their site. hmmm?
Talking to Corey Stewart last night we came up with the best way to demonstrate our concerns about HOT to these guys. Invite Gary Groat and Clark whatever his last name is to go for a ride on the HOV lanes with us. Pull over where the lanes get really narrow above the beltway and look them square in the eye and say "Get Out". If they think there is enough room to add a third lane there they shouldn't have any problems jumping right out. My guess is they'd start shaking and come up with a fast excuse - response is "now imagine this with a third lane and you have a flat tire."
