[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think all of these comments are misguided. WMATA was not set up to be able to pay for itself. Splitting the cost between 3 jurisdictions who have no obligation to pay causes a mountain of issues. Other jurisdictions don't have this issue, although almost every system in the country is facing funding problems so Metro is not unique.[/quote] and how would spending a lot more money on this blackhole solve any of this?[/quote] If WMATA was given dedicated funding from each jurisdiction, it would immediately budget to use that funding. WMATA would then ask for an increase in the dedicated funding. Rinse and repeat. There's never enough money to do everything, but government organizations don't seem to understand that.[/quote]
