[TriLUG] OT: your RTP commute? my office is relocating to RTP from Cary

[Tom Ed White]

Hey! As a regular TTA user, I say, don't blame the TTA for the rail fiasco
(although they did make their share of blunders.) The denial of funding
can be traced directly to our democratically elected president, George
W. Bush.

Strangely enough, Charlotte got funding for a similar project, for 
totally arbitrary reasons.
