    Where is the reference to mass transit in your journal?
    Transit systems across the country are in financial crisis and are being dismantled . Chicago and NY each just laid off 1000 workers, with more to come . Atlanta has wiped out its whole mass transit sytem . Mass transit jobs are the greenest jobs in America and they serve working class and poor communities. Making buses and rail cars could keep the USWA and UAW going for many years. Aren’t you being one-sided?
