[IMC-pgh-editorial] Mass Transit Funding

[Alan Hecht]

I cannot believe the State Leaders are holding the people of this state hostage over these Mass Transit Bills.  
This is totally unresponsible  leadership in this state if something isn't done in the next 3 days. We have had so much job loss in this area and many people have had to resort to lower paying jobs, or spouses that normally stayed home now have to go out and work.
Transit cannot be cut on nights and weekends, because many people work at those times.
Do we want to force people to buy cars they can't afford to get to a job? Only to have it break down and force them to lose that job and default on the car pmt.
WE do need Dedicated Funding passed.SB1162/HB2697.; But to shut down our transit fpor even 1 day is totally unexceptable. If this can't get passed till next year, then another bandaid  will have to be applied.   
Lets get this thing setteled now. It's the only FAIR thing to do.
thank you,
Alan Hecht
