Metro Crash: Light and Heat
Ever since the June 22nd, 2009 Fort Totten Metro crash, Metro has come under increased scrutiny. Yet that scrutiny seemed to have little effect until Maryland's senior United States Senator Barbara Mikulski trained her gaze on the situation.Senator Mikulski blasted Metro's management at a Senate hearing on a proposal to bring federal oversight to local rail-transit sytems. http://www.dot.gov/affairs/2009/dot19309.htm
The next thing you know Metro General Manager John Catoe fired his chief deputy and Metro's safety officer.
Maybe Metro will find a way to gain some traction with the public but for now a little window-dressing seems to be their modus operandi.
