Use it or lose it: Metro’s budget shuttle to the airport needs support from riders and stakeholders – Houston Chronicle

Considering that Metro has a nearly billion dollar budget and just this April wrote off $12 million in wasted investments, a $1.9 million a year airport shuttle doesn’t seem that extravagant.

$12 million writeoff?

Try $180 million ($168 million, as first reported by Mike Reed and the Examiner news — and later updated to reflect a $180 million writeoff).

Confusing a $180 million writeoff for $12 million is about what we’d expect from the same newspaper that saw fit to turn Mike Snyder and Lisa Falkenberg loose on a reporter actually doing watchdog journalism on METRO: Weak.
