Wonderful, they want their cake and eat it to. I don't agree with the gas tax, but if you are going to benefit from a tax supported entity, then have some skin in the game and pay the gas tax. PERIOD!!!! 1. Wonderful, they want their cake and eat it to.

There are plenty of people without transporation in Enon and Nokomis that are further away (20-25 miles) from the nearest shelter at Northview. What do we do? Walk? Looks like Century won't even pay the county gas tax for ECAT, but county residents will. But Century gets door to door service?
