Well it's the last day of knowing the Port Authority of Allegheny County as we know it. Tomorrow October 23, 2009 the board of "directed" casts their rubber stamp on the TDP connect 09. It's the first step to destroying the social safety net we have in public transit. It's being sold to us as a improvement, and the efficiency of our system will be greatly enhanced while only seperating a few hundred people from the social safety net of the county transit system. In the next few years we'll be hearing of private haulers of transit services entering Allegheny County http://www.veoliatransportation.com/index. Don't be fooled by the cost savings or the increase of services none of this will happen and it will all happen at the expense of the American taxpayer so that a few will become wealthy thanks to your taxes. Don't say you haven't been warned America we've documented this for over a year now, the privitization of goverment services.http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=376. Soon we'll be hearing of new pension issues over at the port authority and why that will have to be dissolved it's all part of the plan to destroy the greatest middle class in the history of man by destoying all the hard won gains of labor unions from the 1930's. The next three years on this issue will be interesting, but I wanted this blog out today on this subject as a record of the situation as it stands.
