So keep on funding something losing almost $1B per year.  Taxpayers have infinite wallets.  Brilliant plan.[/quote]

MCPS is losing $3 billion per year on schools. MC DOT is losing $61 million per year on roads. MD SHA is losing $359 million per year on roads. [/quote]

So fund roads since it loses a lot less than the metro.

Mcps needs to be cut in half. What a bloated mess.  [/quote]

I don't think it's a coincidence that the poster who wants to stop funding public transit also wants to stop funding public schools.[/quote]

Oh my god, will someone think of the schools and the children!

Same old hackneyed argument used to give mcps carte Blanche with zero accountability.  Heaven forbid they’re forced to cut bloat and become accountable for their spending when they’re a black hole blowing up multiple billions in the red every year.  Let me guess what the answer is to such grossly mismanaged finances and lack of accountability- spend more money! [/quote]
