It is interesting to note that a supposedly informed transit governing body
cannot spell Amtrak correctly on their map.

They want to seek non-profit status and use the RRTA to funnel federal and 
state funds to them.  How can we get rich off of the taxpayers?

Bringing it back to Pittsburgh, my wife asked me the other day when we were 
in town about the former PRR bridge over the Allegheny River and that it 
looked like a double deck bridge.  I told her it was considered to be a way 
to get the light rail line over to the stadiums & casino, but two very 
expensive tunnels were chosen instead.  Why are they building a light rail 
line to the North Shore?  Because parking is already an issue and there are 
plans by the Rooneys to build another entertainment complex on more of the 
parking area.  Park dahntahn and then take the subway over to the stadium, 
but do not build a staging area large enough to hold the number of  LRV's 
needed to handle the end of an event rush.

Where in the world can one move to get away from greed on the political 
level?  (One would never guessed I am not happy with the federal handling of 
the financial mess they got us into in the first place!!)
