Metro Rail Expenditures
I suppose I am naive to be outraged by yet another revelation of misused public funds as described in your article about rail system expenditures. I find McSpedon’s drop-in-the-bucket attitude particularly galling considering the extreme measures other government and nonprofit agencies are being forced to adopt to stay afloat. I would reply to Tutor-Saliba president Ronald N. Tutor that as long as one dime of taxpayer money is involved, it is everybody’s business to know how that money is being spent. The irony of this story appearing on the same day as those describing the closure of a number of public libraries and the disgraceful teacher salary cuts is clear.
