I got word this morning from a city official that SAM is already giving out FREE bus passes to youth (so they can avoid refunds after the 26th). The system will work identical to the dog tag youth had to buy in the past, and no city ordinances will have to change in reference to riding with a parent or being disciplined (revoking your pass) for unruly behavior. Seems this has gone smoother then we thought (except for the week delay due to our pouting mayor). I would like to thank the city council for making this service available and DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE!
Go get your passes today and explore our great city!
‘Pouting mayor’, so true. He’s getting better. We were spared the crying and public tantrum. It’s possible he’ll grow up before the end of his term.
But did they have time to put MMM’s head on the new dog tags? What about billboards in six states featuring MMM and sharing the news? If anyone could find a way to spend $30k marketing $5k in bus passes, it’s him.
