“The Town of Dubois has been paying 10 percent of (its) half-cent sales tax funds monthly to the WRTA,” the agenda states. “(But) the Town of Dubois does not receive services for these funds.”

The council will consider approving an alternative transportation agreement this week with the High Country Senior Citizens Center and Dubois Assisted Living contingent on the concurrence of those groups and “ceasing payments to the WRTA,” according to the agenda.
