Posted by trainsarefun on Tue Jun 24 12:18:51 2008, in response to Re: M.T.A. Cuts Delay Some Big Projects Until 2010, posted by Russ on Tue Jun 24 11:26:01 2008. Elliott Sander made his statement on March 3rd. He enthusiastically conveyed to the public his unqualified expectation that based on 2008 revenues, the service increases would receive his endorsement as ED and CEO.Sander is the public official whose statement was contradicted within a matter of days. Perhaps instead of giving him a raise, MTA should have called him to account for his flip flop. But then again, since MTA operates outside of the realm of political accountability to voters, they don't have to worry about being voted out of office for their flip flops. Sander doesn't have to run for re-election, he's not accountable, so he doesn't have to explain why mere days after his March 3rd statement, MTA did the opposite of what he said he would endorse. He can show us the hard evidence that he was mistaken without fault. To date, he has not done so, even though his flip flop as one of MTA's highest ranking officers was explicitly noted in our area's leading newspaper, among other places. |
