LTD Board of Directors would like your input

LTD--

Lane Transit District (LTD) will be holding public hearings Monday, February 12, 2007, and Monday, March 12, 2007 both at 5:30 p.m. in Eugene library/Bascom room.

The primary focus of the meeting will be on minor route and schedule changes.
The public hearings give the public an opportunity to comment and make suggestions directly to the LTD Board of Directors about the service and fare recommendations.


Pricing: 80% of the funding provided to LTD is provided from payroll taxes and miscellaneous income generated from advertising. Only 20% of the revenue comes from ridership.
I would think that this would be a good opportunity to come on down and share your input about the EmX project

This is the first in a bunch of meetings every year. I would like to remind everyone that there are 3 LTD board members retiring at the end of this year. I think a rider should apply for one of the positions. Anyone interested?

The following is from yesterdays Register Guard editorial:
The arguments for making the board elective are powerful:
• Elected board members would be more representative of, and accountable to, the people they serve.
• LTD's main source of support is a tax on payrolls that directly or indirectly affects every working person in the district.
• The board has the authority to set bus fares, schedules and routes - decisions that have a far-reaching influence on many people's lives.
• Having elected school boards and city councils is presumed to result in better education and municipal government - so an elected transit board might be reasonably expected to bring better bus service.
Such abstract expectations, however, overlook the practical fact that LTD provides good service already. And past proposals to make transit board positions elective have arisen not from a hope for improved government, but from a desire to gain political influence over the board. An appointed board is insulated from political pressure, which frees it to act in support of the district's long-term interests.


In the Guard's infinite wisdom they have determined everyone elses motive and satisfaction with the current system. It seems to me that the arguments they listed for having an elected board are pretty convincing and since most of the board members are appointed by the governor I have to be suspicious of that process. Remember "you're doing a great job Brownie".

In 1959 phentermine first received approval from the FDA as an appetite suppressing drug. Phentermine hydrochloride then became available in the early 1970s. It was previously sold as Fastin from King Pharmaceuticals for SmithKline Beecham, however in 1998 it was removed from the market. Medeva Pharmaceuticals sells the name brand of phentermine called Ionamin and Gate Pharmaceuticals sells it as Adipex-P. Phentermine is also currently sold as a generic. Since the drug was approved in 1959 there have been almost no clinical studies performed. The most recent study was in 1990 which combined phentermine with fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and became known as Fen-Phen.[citation needed]
In 1997 after 24 cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were voluntarily taken off the market at the request of the FDA. Studies later proved that nearly 30% of people taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had abnormal valve findings. The FDA did not ask manufacturers to remove phentermine from the market.
[url=http://www.buyphentermine1.com]buy phentermine[/url] Phentermine is still available by itself in most countries, including the U.S. However, because it is similar to amphetamines, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries (including Australia). Internationally, phentermine is a schedule IV drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.[1] In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
Looking forward, Phentermine is being studied with another medication for obesity. The experimental appetite suppressant drug Qnexa is a mixture of Phentermine and Topiramate.
Phentermine, in doses clinically used, works on the hypothalamus portion of the brain to release norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter or chemical messenger that signals a fight-or-flight response, reducing hunger. Phentermine works outside the brain as well to release epinephrine or adrenaline causing fat cells to break down stored fat, but the principal basis of efficacy is hunger-reduction. At high doses, phentermine releases serotonin and dopamine as well, but such doses are never used in clinical medicine.
