William Lindstedt and Meg Froelich said Wednesday that they are still set to pursue other RTD reforms through House Bill 1447. But they said they plan to drop the bill’s most contentious provision: a plan to eventually cut the board’s size down from 15 elected, voting members to seven voting members — with five elected and two appointed by the governor.
