Now he’s concerned!?

Why wasn’t he concerned when the Mayor and County Executive asked him to help back in December?!

Too late Jay. You did nothing to help the people of St. Louis.

how exactly would nixon have done anything back in december? he’d won the election. he was not the governor yet. am i wrong? how daft.

While he couldn’t have done anything concrete in December, it could have and should have been on his first-things-to-do-once-in-office list. He can’t act like this was the first he heard of this!

When gas went over $2 a gallon and eventually up to $4, I really had a hard time getting enough money for gas to conduct my business. Then, with the last 15 months of recession, I have had a hard time remaining in business and had to take on additional debt. I sure hope Jay Nixon can help me out with my transportation costs. I would like to park my vehicle and take public transportation, subsidized by government funding, to get around town to where I need to go. Please, Jay, help us out with government funding of our transportation. There is no bus service in my town. I am forced to provide my own transportation, which cuts into the money I earn from my work. That is not fair. I shouldn’t have to fund my own transportation, at least not all of it. Please have the State of Missouri fund public transportation for all of us so that we will be united in passing new taxes to fund it for all of us. Thank you for understanding our dilemma, to either pay our own way or to have all to pay our own ways.

Here is my two cents Dooley and his lackies let Metro wither at the vine siphoned money from Metro for road projects and labor and promised to work the get out the vote for Metro in November. Thanks Charlie for your lack of help. Now let’s talk about viable candidates to run for County Executive on either side. Dooley is defunct.

That’s OK, I am worried about Jay Nixon and his ability to protect his state from the Socialist Movement from the Federal Government. Maybe we should watch each other?

With all do respects; I think it is time for a FRESH journalist!!! This story is SO stale. The county has spoken, they pay the most tax, and now they have the most reduced service’s. METRO has brought this on themselves, but Mr. Leiser will not present that side of the story.

No wonder, A.P. is replacing the Post-Dispatch as a news media. Mr. Leiser “WILL NOT ASK THE REAL, TOUGH QUESTIONS!”. The state of MISSOURI should with hold all tax monies until METRO fixes it’s problem’s!

lwingo, you always call for Leiser to ask the “tough questions” but never give examples. If you would have taken the time to learn about Metro’s finances, which are ALWAYS available and were on their website for a long time (haven’t checked lately), you would realize what an idiot you are that this is NOT Metro’s fault. They can’t operate on a deficit, they get 20% of the Operating Costs from fares, which is the industry standard. Pretty much the rest of their money comes from Sales Tax Revenue, which HAS NOT kept up with inflation, HAS NOT been enough. Metro did what they could to prevent cuts, such as salary freezes, raising the age of retirement, cutting back on medical benefits, etc. You would much rather complain than learn the facts. Disgusting.

The Governor doesn’t have much to do with the transportation funding in Missouri. The Department of Transportation handles it. The legislature provides funding for the DOT.

The easy answer is to blame Nixon, but why not blame the General Assembly and MODOT and the taxpayers who voted down the tax increase?

They are as responsible as the Governor who has been office for less than three months.

GO GO GOAT DADDY! YOU ROCK. LISTEN UP, COMPLAINING, BLAMING FOOLS. CLEAN YOUR EARS OUT.
