>We made a mistake, and we owned it.

Hey Ras, I have a dozen outstanding tickets on the Report app that your staff has failed to address for months on end. How about owning up to that?

Ras embarrasses Newark then accuses everyone else of making fun of Newark.

The comments here don’t sound responsive to the actual article.

He never denied the mistake or attempted to justify it. The entire article is essentially saying, “get off Newark’s dick, we made a mistake but we are working well at other things, and you all dragging this feels like an excuse to dogpile Newark as always” which is a totally understandable feeling. Especially when there were jokes like “who would want to be sister cities with Newark?” made. He’s defensive because he mismanaged the reputation of an already undervalued city and people are pointing & laughing. It’s embarrassing and he’s human. I know he should’ve been smart enough to prevent this from happening at all. But critiquing this response he’s giving just sounds unnecessarily cold.

I’ve worked with NJ Transit, they are State and not City but I know all of these Govt agencies never admit they are wrong.

I'm convinced nobody here actually read the article. Y'all are insufferable.
