Free where I am, and if I call this very minute, the bus would come all the way to my remote location and pick me up. Makes me mad as hell. One person, ONE PERSON! Free!

Marsha, I noticed you were writing all day today while I was sick at home. I know you are a volunteer, but were you writing from work using the computer? Even if you were not being paid, it is still misuse of public property.

P.S. LINK bus service has cancelled these services to your rural areas in Douglas County. Laying off 68 employees in the process. No need to be mad as heck anymore, you got your justice.

Tom,

why should I pay for you to ride the bus for free. I have never gottn anything in life for free but a liberty pass when I left the Navy after serving for 4 years. Get a life and go to work!
