Most financial analyst would be fired for such a bad prediction. At BART the Management gives themselves bonuses. Here is the latest numbers from BART. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice....

I can't wait to see BART crying poor again

Wonder why they released this info now?

Must be pushing for some new , useless and un popular project that some board members cousin/friend/family member is "bidding" on.

It is ok though

Contract time rolls around bart will be broke again.

No worries

Everyone knows how the game

Everyone knows how the game works. About a year before the contract runs out, BART faces a "dire financial emergency". Numbers are run and "things don't look good".

Once the new contract is inked, money flows from on high to pay for all sorts of stuff.

Yup. And then they hike fees for riders so overpaid management and overpaid union employees can keep their pensions and perks.
