Affordable housing opportunities throughout the metro area <br />Good jobs in areas suffering economic distress <br />. Contaminated soils clean-up in the core cities and <br />throughout the metro area <br />Better transit links between jobs, housing and other needed <br />services <br />. Incentives to remove or rehabilitate blighted housing <br />We agree with you that action must be taken this year to begin addressing the <br />problems and, that any proposal must enjoy bi-partisan legislative support for any <br />viable proposal. <br />We believe the attached proposal meets these objectives and does so with a viable <br />funding mechanism. Our hope is for your strong support and advocacy for this <br />proposal in the days ahead. We look forward to your response. <br />Re»ectfuUy, <br />fili/UU. <br />loo. i RJQ (<Jaf
