[edit] One of the biggest impediments to subway and rail???

I don't understand why Mr. Yaroslavsky is of the biggest impediments to rail/subway in Los Angeles County. His ban of use of county sales tax revenue for the planning or building of subways, basically has stopped any progress with rail/subway in Los Angeles.

I don't understand what he has against rail/subways. I am not making any claims, but I wonder if the Bus Riders Union is a big contributor to his campaigns and the amount of contributions he gets from the Bus Riders' Union. As I see no reason to ban county sales tax, unless his contributors were against expansion of rail/subway.

Also he was commented in the LA Times about traveling during Peak Times, and how he tells his staff not to schedule any events during Peak traffic times, which is ridiculous, because of his views on rail/subway, and the fact that the rest of Los Angeles workforce has to travel during Peak traffic times.

I think that every high level government official should be forced to travel during peak times at least once every week, just so they can get a sense of what it is like for the rest of Los Angeles population. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.195.154.100 (talk) 07:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
