If the proposed Hall County budget released last week is the starting line for reaching a final fiscal year 2013 budget, then the Red Rabbit bus service has some catching up to do if it’s to avoid drastic reductions in the service. The proposal offered by Hall County staff and released to the public is calculated by cutting costs that would lead to the elimination of two bus routes and layoffs of 13 Hall Area Transit employees, according Phillippa Lewis Moss, director of the Gainesville-Hall County Community Service Center, when asked about reductions this week. The Community Service Center, which is jointly funded by Hall County and the city of Gainesville, runs Hall Area Transit, as well as Meals on Wheels and the Senior Life Center.
