We want yer munny

Posted on 5:00 AM by Unknown
For those not familiar with how things work here in Harris County, METRO is short for Metropolitan Transit Authority - the agency in charge of mass transit in the Houston area. This year METRO wants authority to issue a bunch of bonds whose supposed purpose is to improve mass transit but is really all about widening roads for the benefit of developers in the suburbs.

But, regardless of your feelings on how METRO operates, do you really trust them with your money if they can't even spell?
