I feel weirdly like I need to defend the T here and I don’t want too. He’s probably going to fail. Massachusetts politics are insular and corrupt, and notoriously unfriendly to outsiders, and he’s gonna need political cooperation to succeed.

I understand the resentment behind high pay for public servants but if you want the best you need to make it worth their while. Public service for the good of the commonwealth is a lost thing

Wouldn’t you ask for top dollar to be the governor’s fall guy?

He seems like he’s got some good experience. But this isn’t a “one person” problem. The legislature is going to have to fund both service and the large amount needed to fix the system, and I just don’t see that happening. Best of luck to Phil

Public goods should be free at point of sale, if you want to encourage usage, then make them free. Pay the fare out of the city coffers

Certainly possible, accident is more likely though. We will have to wait and see

Honestly I wish him the best of luck, we need a functioning T.
