Ready-Fire-Aim: METRO board approves rail contract nobody else has seen
METRO's board has unanimously approved the big rail contract that the public was not allowed to see or debate before the big vote yesterday and which, they contend, was still being negotiated right up to the vote (ready-fire-aim!).
Rosanna Ruiz's coverage for the Chronicle is here.
Instead of offering our opinion, we're gonna throw this one open to readers. What do you think about METRO's $1.46 billion deal (and the gazillion jobs that METRO says it will create)?
Okay, we'll offer one little bit of opinion -- here's hoping these projects turn out better than the Main Street line, with its fine record of collisions (with cars, people, and even wheelchairs), ongoing stray current problems and water art turned to eyesore (photo via Michael Berry). Because a lot of your money is at stake.
