[PRCo] Re: Pittsburgh - think tank blasts possible new transit taxes

[John Swindler]

The Transportation Reform commission recommended no new spending on 
transportation until a number of reforms implemented.  Instead, you (any 
resident of PA) are getting $300 million in additional taxpayer spending on 
transit operations without any reforms.  The recent legislation might as 
well be called the Bus drivers full employment act of 2007.  The 
authorization for new taxes is to provide the state matching share - PAT and 
Allegheny County have been playing games past few years.
