As RFTA hits yet another wall with acquiring the property to pull off their commitment made to millions of dollars in federal funding....SandBox again asks the question:
When is someone going to step up and do something about RFTA?
How many more times do we put up with either their hand out for negative cash flow bailouts, the worst schedules possible which allow for mostly empty busses running up and down the highway, no practical consideration for the facilities they build such as the now near to being condemned bus barn in West Glenwood Springs and all the promises made that always end up having problems that either prevent keeping or need more money than originally projected?
On the other hand, maybe RFTA CEO Dan Blankenship sticking out his false promises that everything is all lined up and ready to go , to the Fed's in charge of his $25 million dollar grant when apparently he hadn't even made sure the land was going to be available; is a good thing.
Please do yank that $25 million back out of his hands, Mr. Federal Government.
We have many other higher priority places for it to go.
As for RFTA, isn't it about time we ended their private entity status by calling in all the money they owe the folks? Just make RFTA 100% publically owned. Would sure be a lot cheaper for the folks.
