Proposition P: Politics and Posturing Promoting Poor PolicyGreg Dewarbyline‚ Oct. 01‚ 2008Just about anyone who lives in San Francisco has an opinion about MUNI - is it doing a good job, a bad job, and so on. Few San Franciscans have likely even heard of the San Francisco County Transportation Agency (SFCTA) - much less know what to think of it. And yet, the SFCTA may be one of those rare success stories in local government where a transit agency, run by officials directly elected by the people, actually spends its money and resources on ways to improve transportation in San Francisco. Proposition P on the November ballot threatens to jeopardize its success due to political posturing that has no place in governing transit policy. |
