There's a better way

Now here comes Oakland County Executive, L. Brooks Patterson with an idea to help county employees save gas and money during this time of record high gas prices.... cut the work week! Being hailed as a trend-setting notion, its unclear if any other county is considering the same. Hey Brooks, I got a better way, a real trend-setting idea that could become part of your legacy -- how about calling for a regional public transportation system that will allow your employees to put their cars away and save some real money. You could even throw your support behind state legislation just introduced that would provide incentives for transportation orientend development. And its even been introduced by a state legislator from your own county! Come on Brooks, being an advocate and leader on regional transportation...its just sitting out there for a trend setter such as yourself.
