Comments on: MTC Gives BART Until Mid-February on Civil Rights Review http://sf.streetsblog.org/2010/01/27/mtc-gives-bart-until-mid-february-on-civil-rights-review/ Covering San Francisco's livable streets movement Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:15:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Greg http://sf.streetsblog.org/2010/01/27/mtc-gives-bart-until-mid-february-on-civil-rights-review/comment-page-1/#comment-124961 Greg Thu, 28 Jan 2010 03:27:46 +0000 http://sf.streetsblog.org/?p=125921#comment-124961 Ron Dellums and James Fang have no real credibility. James is a liar and Ron is a tax cheat who spends more time away from his city than in it. F*ck 'em. Who cares what they think? It's time to stop buying into failed, divisive politics and be honest. A bad deal is a bad deal. And the fact the MTC and so many people went along with it doesn't mean it's right, it just means that lies and poor spending choices can happen anywhere. Just because this isn't Frank Murkowski pushing a "Bridge to Nowhere" and liberals live here doesn't mean this is a cruddy deal. Ron Dellums and James Fang have no real credibility.

Fine. And come March the feds will say, 'nope, you have still failed to address the equity impacts under Title VI. Peace out.' And we transit-dependent residents will have to pay increased fares, or wait longer for buses and trains, or ride filthy and broken buses. Honestly, who passes on $70 million in free money in a budgetary environment like this?!!
