Steve must go!

Steve Bland came to Pittsburgh in 2006, his time here has been a path of destruction for Transit Riders and Transit Workers alike. From the minute he arrived his goals were to shrink the system and bust the Union. There has been zero growth to the Port Authority, as a matter of fact if you check out his old news articles, almost all of them are negative either towards the Public or the Union, They are all either describing the next funding crisis, raising fares, and cutting service. He once said "the people of Troy Hill should get there walking shoes"when he was planning to cut their bus service. In his short time here he alone has been the biggest reason why people don't ride the bus. The decisions he has made has put people out of range and out of touch of bus service through service cuts and fare increases, and its only going to get worse after March, 27th 2011. Now the Port Authority Board of Directed are going to attempt to award him with a new contract to continue this path of destruction. The people of Allegheny County should stand up and tell Dan Onorato to take Steve Bland with him when he leaves, we don't need him here. His legacy is already a dark period for the Port Authority and he must be stopped before he destroys this system completely.
