From the Muncie Star-Press:
Supporters
of the Muncie Community Schools “bus” referendum are stepping on the gas when
it comes to getting the word out.
A
political action committee has been formed by residents. Bus drivers are
planning a “yes” rally and an elementary school student is sharing her thoughts
on keeping the buses running in her blog.
“We
are picking up some momentum,” said MCS Supt. Tim Heller. “In the next few
weeks, the community will see more yellow signs, billboards and the board
