  1. There’s not much of anything to do with Conect Transit I would consider positive or even competent. I would be ashamed to be on their board given the high level of ineptitude shown.

    If it was a private company they would have long ago gone bankrupt.

    1. What kind of person sees an honorable man being remembered for his community service — which continued even through death — and then thinks “I’m going to take this moment to denegrate this board (and by proxy anyone who was on it) because my opinion is THAT important”? People really have lost their humanity. Disgusting.

        1. There’s a time and place to discuss personal opinions of a public board. The post of a man’s recent death isn’t it.

            1. Why did you OK the comment that disparaged the deceased? The comment that he, John would be embarrassed to be on the Connect Board? Are you that petty? This shows your lack of regard for the deceased.
