If the DC council blows this metro funding deal I will never forgive them

Unbelievable to me that they would put it all at risk over $10 million and a new argument that DC gets less benefit from metro than the suburbs do.

Yeah, if Metro doesn't get an infusion of cash, the quality will decline, there will be service cuts, and it won't be safe to ride.



Wait...

These fools lose $100s of millions greasing the palms of their developer pals and now they decide to count pennies.

Stand by it’s an election year!

They're just angling for a piece of the $$ action for their friends and supporters in the DC "community."

It's true. If the train stops, we have the buses. You guys get screwed, not us.
