Subject: Bus Transportation: Do as I say, not as I do
Response to Linda Cooper –
I am sure some people will hail you as a hero, but let me ask you this Linda –
Have you ridden the Pittsboro Express? If you have, how often?
Not much I would guess. Am I right?
Another likely case of “Do as I say, not as I do.”
Randy Voller boasted about over 200 people signing the on-line petition when the idea was floated. (Loved the anonymous signees)
Where are those people now? We know that they are not on the bus, because there are less than two dozen people riding the bus on a daily basis.
If these 200 propoents put their money where their mouths were, you would not hear a peep out of me and others. Let them fork over the $60 per month for a transit pass and I’ll quiet down. I don’t care if they feel it is unfair for them to pay for a bus they don’t ride. They like the idea and claim they support it. If they support it let them pay for it.
Linda, can we expect to see you buying your Pittsboro Express pass? Take a picture of it and post it on the web for us all to see. Don’t forget you have to do this every month for the next 16 months.
Note also that the monthly bill for the bus is actually about $20,000 a month so that you really need to have over 300 people forking over $60 a month each .
Now, because you chose to chastise me and others that oppose the unwarranted waste of money, let me ask you another question.
What has your family done to impact “Global warming, gas emmissions, cost of gas, traffic, etc.”?
I notice that your son is still racing around in circles in a polluting race car ( http://www.michaelcooperracing.com/index.htm ). How is this helping global warning and gas emmissions?
I know you are a NASCAR fan. Isn’t this a antiquated quaint Southern tradition that has outlived it’s time. For the sake of the world and the children.
Maybe we can have NASBUS, where drivers pick lots to see who gets to ride one of two city buses and we get to watch these two vehicles race around the racetrack. A bus’s higher center of gravity would make going into the turns really interesting.
Personally, I don’t care how you plan to use your free time and that’s the point – you should be free to spend your money how you would like.
So please, just spare us the lecturing about how WE should be behaving.
Looking forward to seeing you riding on the Pittsboro Express. I’ll wave to you as my passengers and I drive by in my car.
BTW, except for the ceremonial first ride, how many times has anyone saw Randy Voller riding the Pittsboro Express?
