Expenditures of Transit Agency

LACTC head Peterson pads his expense account with $1,300 of personal expenditures, including golf lessons, over an 18-month period. At my firm, and at most others in the private sector, he’d be fired.
If Peterson has a shred of dignity left, he’ll resign. And if the county supervisors have an ounce of collective common sense, they’ll realize that only an individual of unquestioned integrity should hold that position. This taxpayer shudders to think that Peterson is overseeing the disbursement of tens of billions of dollars from the Props. A and C sales tax initiatives.
