Property taxes a concern?

Dear Chuck,

The long awaited Angle Property tax restraint (Nevada Style Prop 13) is now out at Bill Draft Request (BDR) C-212.

Please ask the Nevada State Assemblymen/women and Senators to sign on to this bill. Please remind them that you support the Nevada style Prop 13 solution. Because of the deadlines for bill introduction this needs to be done immediately. The legislative e-mails can be found at http://www.leg.state.nv.us
 
Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

 Sharron Angle
Nevada Assemblyman, District No. 26

PS. I have personally asked each one to sign on to the bill. They are reluctant because they say they haven't heard from their constituents about the importance of this bill.

Flexible Demand Response at your service!

Flexible Demand Response, or FDR, is a door-to-door transit service provided by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) that was established to provide specialized transportation service within the Sun City Anthem.

FDR complements the Citizens Area Transit (CAT) fixed route system and provides a convenient transportation alternative to residents who wish to travel within Sun City Anthem. Recently, stops were added along Eastern Avenue, including St. Rose Hospital.

Sun City Anthem Community Service Club members and the Minuteman Foundation worked closely with RTC staff through a series of public meetings to help develop the parameters of the service. Recently, service times were increased to 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays so that residents can access the 10 a.m. Palms Bus at the Sun City Community Center.

All residents within Sun City Anthem are eligible to use the FDR service for just 50 cents a ride. Please note that drivers can not make change and FDR does not provide transfers to regular CAT fixed route service. Anyone who registers for the program will receive an identification card with call center information on the back in case of a missed ride.

Residents can schedule rides by calling 228-RIDE or 228-1834 (TDD). Public Service Specialists will take reservations seven days a week from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Passengers can schedule rides up to three days in advance and may also be able to schedule same-day rides if service is available.

For registration call Diana Miller at the RTC at 676-1510. For more information, go to http://www.rtcsouthernnevada.com  and click on FDR.
