CTA gets new boss; trains still slow, noisy
Former CTA Chief of Staff Ron Huberman is taking over the top spot as Chicago's top transit man. His job won't be easy:
To avoid fare hikes and service cuts, the CTA needs $110 million in operating funds. A pension funding mandate that takes effect in 2009 will require another $176 million a year.
Not to mention the 100+ year old infrastructure and the possibility of getting the Olympics in 2016. Yet, he has plans, including the Circle Line and lobbying Springfield for more funds. Best of luck, Ronnie.
