Can you imagine places like Washington, D.C., or Portland or Salt
Lake City without their rail systems? Can you find a city that has ever

Chancellor Philip Dubois  – Charlotte Observer   11/16/2006

Chancellor, with all due respect and knowing that being a Chancellor requires you be an expert on such matters and that you probably ride these systems, well, NEVER.  I didn’t realize that a city could think or have an opinion.  But the people in the city might often feel the brunt of the colossal waste of money.  And they’re so full of people.
