- 1. Online with Ruth 418B Legislative Office Building Raleigh, NC 27603-5925 (919) 715-3009 ruths@ncleg.net Rep. Ruth Samuelson February 4, 2008 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Raleigh, NC I mentioned various transportation funding needs in my last email and it looks like we may be in for some good news on that front. When the North Carolina Board of Transportation meets on Thursday February 7, 2008, they will consider funding our highway lighting problems on I-77, I-85, I-277, and I-485. Hopefully, this funding will be allocated and we will get these much needed repairs done. As for the drought, we were blessed with more rain than expected for December and January, but we are still in an extreme drought condition. Every little bit that you can save now will help when demand escalates in the spring. Please do your part to conserve. I recently bought rain barrels through the county and thought I would pass along information on the next sale. Saturday, April 19, 2008: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM Pick up: Ray's Splash Planet - 215 N.
