Good call on not asking to be funded for nearly three years. Good goddamn call.
Looks like the RTA is going to get their money after all.

The supplemental bill does not add back the $2 million eliminated by the House for Metro Detroit’s fledgling transit authority.

But legislative leaders said a separate agreement has been made to find $2 million for start-up financing for the Regional Transit Authority through adjustments in the Michigan Department of Transportation budgets for this year and next year.

Kahn said the RTA and its member governments will receive a letter of guarantee from the state so the agency can move ahead without doubts about funding.
