"U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy and the state's 10 congressmen -- all Democrats -- made the request in a letter sent Friday to MBTA general manager Michael Mulhern and Boston 2004 president David Passafaro, asking them to make subways free in downtown Boston during the four-day convention in July."
The rich and powerful looking for a free ride. Shameful. I'm sure they justify it by saying it isn't for them, it's for others. Bunch of free loading bums.
It's for the childrun.
Well, why not? They've justified a whole passel of crap and crappy legislation on this basis.
