Mr. Mike Khoury, Manager of the Chamber of Commerce, discussed the latest plans for a rapid transit system in Dade County and asked for support of the citizens in signing petitions to request the County Commission to nullify the transit tax vote passed in 1972, because the system as now planned will not serve the entire county.
