Clearly none of them use MARTA and nor do they care about the thousands of people who use it. The ineptitude of our state government is astounding.

I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that your letter is read by everyone in my network who is affected by the cutbacks that MARTA is undoubtedly going to be forced to make. The legislature ought be be ashamed. When the time comes, I hope you'll consider voting for a Democratic candidate that has championed public transit if a Libertarian isn't in the running. Mr. Hervey,
