Penny Wise and Dollar Foolish Los Angeles' Corrupt Polticians

The Los Angeles Transit Authority is going to spend 40 or 50 million dollars to keep a few people from riding the subway for free. It will cost over a million dollars a year to maintain the new system. The savings will be virtually nothing over the long term. So then why do this if there is nothing to be gained? The General Contractor building the new police headquarters that the city dosent need and cant afford is a convicted felon. He was convicted of stealing form the city during the building of the subway and yet now the city counsel approved his selection to build the police headquarters building. The project is now way over budget. Its seem that more emphasis should placed on excluding convicted felons from public construction projects then worring about a few people riding the subway for free.
