In shortchanging MBTA, Legislature once again picks politics over T riders Here we go again. Beacon Hill is once again shortchanging T riders, this time by $18 million.

BOSTON GLOBE SATURDAY 12/14/19

And to what end? To show who’s boss. It’s easy to call this politics as usual. It’s actually more like pettiness as usual.

So here’s what happened: After the Red Line derailment in June, Governor Charlie Baker wanted $50 million more this year to spend on our beleaguered MBTA to ensure safety and speed up repairs.

Sure, it’s a drop in the bucket when the maintenance backlog is in the billions of dollars, but the fact that our penny-pinching Republican wants to throw more money at the T is a deal lawmakers should have run with.https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/other/2019/12/13/shortchanging-mbta-million-legislature-once-again-picks-politics-over-people/P0ST97j4ic4sf0wTmczHjK/story.html?s_campaign=breakingnews:newsletter
