Transit Tyrant - Leaving with his Golden Parachute?

Read post from Chronicle below: We can only hope that this well baked incompetent GM of Capital Metro Fred Gilliam IS really leaving. We can hardly think of any one person who has done more to entirely fuck up everything at Capital Metro more than this used up old guy. Yet, he is still collecting an enormous check every month, and drives a nice Buick on our dime. O and also please recall that he will walk out of CMTA with a 30 year retirement with a monthly income way-way higher than the average working Austin-ite. You are not supposed to figure out that he has been there like 7 years, but walks out with 30 years of retirement. How dumb are we Austin? So far the Board and all over there have duped us pretty darn well.

How long will we wait for the train?


Capital Metro’s monthly MetroRail progress report lists several accomplishments, such as “relocation of train detection equipment” and “initiated compilation of system integration documentation.” It also mentioned the “vital logic” setback reported a few weeks ago. None of it sounds like major progress. The arm doesn’t move. Off-track: Insistent street buzz says CEO Fred Gilliam is on his way out.
