A common criticism of Democrat run governments is inefficiency. Guess what? It is true. The wealthiest cities in the country waste money like it is water (and even that isn’t infinite anymore). As you can see, the money is all there! The state legislature, however, needs to step up to the plate and choose to invest it in projects that will lead to a better society.
The MBTA has a lot of problems. Nobody wants to work for the MBTA because the pay is minimum. The rails don’t receive proper maintenance because they are too expensive to repair. The cars are dirty because nobody can afford to clean it. The fact is, if we want a world class transit system, we need to PAY FOR IT. And here is the secret…. there are a lot more conservatives in the Mass state legislature than you probably think, and they really don’t like trains.
