The latest is to try and impose a $750 million-a-year, 30-year tax on the Bay Area counties. Instead, they should first fix the transit organization problem and cut the money needed by 25%.

• Fire redundant management.
• Remove all union jobs, including $200,000 a year janitorial jobs.
• Fire all staff and rehire at 20% less pay; they will be able to fill all the positions.
