Congressman Kimble Introduces Freedom to Commute Bill
It was a rainy February morning in Oakdale. Matilda Jenkins, a single mom doing her best to raise her four year old child, was late for work again and the bus still hadn't arrived. Would this be the day her boss fired her? Would this be the day she would have to tell her precious son that there was no money to pay the rent?
She crossed her fingers, prayed and waited.
Everyday, this all too familiar scene is repeated at bus stops and subway stations across the country. In the most advanced and most prosperous country in the world, it doesn't have to be this way.
