Excellent article on the Austin Chronicle today. The Chronicle has entirely taken the lead away from the Statesman on reporting on Capital Metro in Austin. The last editorial / Q and A from The Statesman was - in a word, very odd, sounding like an endorsement of the failed transit king Fred Gilliam and his failed agency.
Ironically, KXAN presented a scathing two night report on Capital Metro in the same week, the best of which showed the Chief Financial Officer Randy Hume stumped and stuttering and flushed when Nanci Wilson challenged him that the reported 2009 budget numbers being used in the 2010 budget proposals were never approved per Texas Law.
But as little actual accountability as we have seen for anyone in the upper management I am pretty sure that Randy and Fred will be there still, entrenched and encircled by a seemingly powerless Board. Anyone as incompetent as these guys in the public sector would have been thrown out months ago.
