Can someone please buy Metro a clue?
Rad Sallee's Move It! column has some Metro tidbits in it today, including this:
The public gave the Metro board some licks Thursday at its last regular meeting of the year.
Janis Scott brought a candle and other items to the rostrum in memory of Rosa Parks, whose refusal to give up her seat and move to the back of the bus sparked a 1955 bus boycott in Montgomery, Ala., and helped get the civil rights movement rolling.
Scott spoke in verse, chastising Metro for not reserving an empty seat on its buses to honor Parks, who died Oct. 24 at age 92. A number of other transit agencies around the country had made the gesture.
Board Chairman David Wolff said Metro showed Parks "a great deal of respect" by displaying her picture instead.
Except that according to KTRK-13's reporting, Metro displayed Parks' picture a month before she died.
