Quote of the Week From the Cabalmaster: Bill Onasch, a Kansas City transit operator and labor organizer, penned this pithy tidbit in reference to Wendell Cox, Tom Rubin and other opponents of effective public transit: “These well-heeled disciples of Ayn Rand provide right-wing newspaper columnists who are too lazy to do their own research with much of the commentary on transit issues appearing in our great metropolitan newspapers across the land" www.kclabor.org/its_not_about_transit.htm If you look at this link, you'll notice we probably don't agree with them on everything. We also would agree that in a place like Kansas City with very low transit ridership, there is lots that needs to be done with buses, and that the first LRT "starter" line needs to be in a place that makes sense. Contrary to what Gordon or Cox would probably claim, we ARE open-mined. But we're not so open-mined that we would let our brains fall out. Also take a look at this link: www.kclabor.org/tranfut.htm
