Follow the money to see why this bus station’s planned. Follow the money, and then we will all understand Why we have projects that don’t really serve us one bit! The RTA’s friends reap the profits, While the poor folks take the hit. These kinds of projects don’t create new jobs that will last. They’re good for the builders, but…
