Washington’s Metro transit system is gearing up to raise rates for the second time in two years “to help cover a shortfall between its revenue and expenses.”
Why might there be a shortfall between revenue and expenses, you ask? I don’t know. The fact that parking lot attendants have stolen untold millions from the system might have something to do with it.
To add insult to injury, Metro officials are refusing to release the auditor’s report on the thievery because “audits are not public documents.”
Nice.
