JOHN:<div> Your material contains a photo of Leland Hazard, Chief Counsel for </div><div>Pittsburgh Plate Glass and Pat Board member.</div><div> When I was working with you in Harrisburg, Leland Hazzard called </div><div>me up and invited me to dinner with him at a hotel. He was also a </div><div>Trustee of Carnegie Mellon where I went to college. We had much </div><div>in common.</div><div> We enjoyed a pleasant dinner until desert, when he politely </div><div>explained to me I would be fired if I did not fund Sky Bus.</div><div><div><div>I told him 83 % of the people opposed it and it was not viable. I </div><div>would have to take my chances. The next Governor did fire me </div><div>as the bus lobby paid him to do it. A committee of a dozen </div><div>Republicans </div><div>called on the Governor to keep me but he told them and they told </div><div>me that he was financially obligated to get rid of me.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>They demanded the end of commuter rail subsidy as they </div><div>needed the money for buses. By 1982, all the RDC's were shut </div><div>down but the bus lobby never got more money as the accounting </div><div>losses on RDC operation did not produce any honest cash </div><div>savings after discontinuance. The bus crooks thought they would</div><div>get $ 11 million a year.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>E d T e n n y s o n</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On Aug 3, 2013, at 11:02 AM, John Swindler wrote: </div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">This email started with a discussion of an Oct.1931 robbery on Pittsburgh Rys, then digressed to transition to exact fare around 1970, an assault on a PAT bus driver during 1970s, to comments about PTC abandoning parts of rt 36 near airport.
