Al, I really enjoyed your Adron Hall video. He does make a point that when you always blog from a highly charged, emotional viewpoint you run the danger of way overstating the wretchedness, evilness or bad judgement of those you criticize. To claim something as the very worst or the poorest run in the face of evidence of worse stuff in other transit systems (evidence you often post!) can undercut your case.
Which is not to excuse the active anti unionism of McFarlane and the wretched employee treatment and bad morale that results from it. But, we all know he was given a task from the state political elite to do this. It's not an idle whim on his part. The reward of being a widely hated boss is the super generous retirement package.
