[PRCo] Re: [Fwd: Butler MTA has a website]

[Fred W. Schneider III]

Amen, Herb.  

Or as John Swindler would say, "There's too much money out there for
transit."  To which I'll add, too few brains.  

Lancaster makes a good example.  At the end of its existence, Conestoga
Transportation had about four office people out of a grand total of
130.  Red Rose Transit Authority today has several managers in the
office, several secretaries, a receptionist to say hello when someone
opens the door.  The joint is a catacomb of offices.   One of those
management types spends his time dreaming up projects to keep himself
busy, such as wooden knickknacks to sell.
