How much can the head of the MBTA push for audits and oversight? Even that would be a massive win.

> The legislature is going to have to fund both service and the large amount needed to fix the system
Yeah, I wish this guy luck, but if the legislature doesn't cooperate, he's DOA.

Eh, NYS is just as infamously difficult and corrupt.

I'll believe it when I see it. Poftak was covered as the "transit guy" when Ramirez was kicked out of the job. I have no faith in MBTA.

Yep. It's why the State Legislature fought so hard against the FTA taking over. Same reason they're fighting against being audited. Corruption is likely rampant in State Government and MBTA.

Do you know when they meet, by any chance? It always seems abandoned. I'd like to check it out on a night it's not rented out

Thanks for the reassurance!
My family used to live on that street and go to that church. It'd be fun to talk to some old timers. I thought it was maybe a veterans hall, knights of columbus kinda thing, but wanted to make sure I wasn't like, accidentally walking into a mafia den

Right? This is a massively important job. Guy is in charge of how many with average daily ridership of 678k.
What he does has a massive impact on the city. If he’s able to help turn around the T and increase ridership, it could help traffic.

I hope it provides you some comfort to know that the Chelsea st bridge has a 2.7 rating on Google reviews
