I just took a look at the PATransit website. One article explains the cuts which are going to be made to retired employees pensions, medical coverage, etc. I'm glad I did not retire from PATransit ! It looks like the retired employees are going to loose a lot of benefits do to no funding being available. A really sad situation.
   
  BTW, Jim Holland has not posted for some time now. Anybody heard from him lately?

began today:
