This whole thing makes me sick.

Governor McDonnell holding funding hostage for seats on the WMATA Board jeopardizes the safety of Metro customers insofar as it puts essential capital funding at risk.

Even if I agreed with his end goal (which do not), he is putting his agenda ahead of the safety of Metro riders period. If he cares both about the safety of Metro riders AND getting seats on the Board, then maybe he should offer EXTRA money in exchange for seats.

Bribery is no better than blackmail. I know. But jeopardizing funding that would be used to replace 1000 series rail cars. Really? That's just wrong. The end simply does not justify the means.

Put simply, I have no faith in Governor McDonnell's ability or desire to improve our regional transit system.
