The Los Angeles Times reports today that our fab lawmakers have taken $1.3 billion from mass transit funds to balance the budget. Super! These guys are great aren't they.
"The cuts could imperil a variety of transit projects, most notably the Exposition Line light rail from downtown L.A. to the Westside, extending the Orange Line busway from Warner Center to Chatsworth, and building the Gold Line from Pasadena to San Bernardino County, said Roger Snoble, chief executive of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority."
I'm aware that $1.3 bil isn't much in the grand scheme of our traffic problem, but losing it sure doesn't inspire faith in the powers that be.
