Did you have a chance to read Mike Kiesel's email from Wednesday morning? If not, take a minute now, below. I'm forwarding this today because Mike's right, and it's important.

The inability of Congress to extend the tax provisions last month are effectually a tax hike on Long Island commuters – and it will cost you up to $1000 more this year alone to get to work.

It’s not just about the money – supporting mass transit is also about quality of life and the health of our environment – but what this economy doesn’t need right now is a tax on middle class families who are doing their best to make ends meet.

I invite you to stand with me! Become a citizen Co-Sponsor of my efforts to re-instate full commuter benefits and make them permanent!

Together we can make a difference.

Sincerely,
