Where's the Bus Fare?

I agree with the premise of having a secure funding source for public transit. I disagree with the premise that said source should be a 10% tax on every drink I have at the bar. Vehemently, I disagree with the premise that said source of funding not actually be given to public transit.

Why is Dan Onorato not giving money to the Port Authority that he's collecting from the drink tax? Why was this ego-maniac given the power to control when the money is dispensed to Port Authority? Why is the County Council not forcing this issue? Why, oh why, is the city considering merging with this craptastic council? Oh, yeah, Twanda Carlisle.
