Let's talk Sarles

I'll be on TBD's NewsTalk with Bruce DePuyt starting at 10 to discuss the news that the WMATA Board has decided to keep Richard Sarles on as GM/CEO.

Jim Dinegar from the Greater Washington Board of Trade, and Post reporter Ann Scott Tyson, are also participating. You can watch the segment live here.

Maryland Governor O'Malley spilled the beans Friday. WMATA responded by putting out a tight-lipped odd press release. We've pointed out before how funny it is that the WMATA press email list just announces the title of each press release and requires people to click to read it; that's even weirder when the title itself has no information:

David Alpert is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Greater Greater Washington and Greater Greater Education. He worked as a Product Manager for Google for six years and has lived in the Boston, San Francisco, and New York metro areas in addition to Washington, DC. He loves the area which is, in many ways, greater than those others, and wants to see it become even greater.

I hate getting press releases like that. It's even more annoying considering the release is only one sentence.

I don't understand why they just don't put news items like this directly in the email rather then making us go to their website. Communications is a big problem at Metro.

That press release page on WMATA's website has ads. Gotta feed the pageview monster.

Ok, time to press Sarles in his vision for WMATA.
