Between service cuts, fare increases and feisty finger-pointing between the union and management (message from civilians: Stop wasting your time, we think you’re both a problem), even Muni hates Muni right now. Such a sad state prompted one lovable local, Walter Paulson, to weigh in on the issue at the Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday, where he serenaded the room with his own version of "Mustang Sally."
Mustang Muni now,
Gotta slow that Fast Pass price down,
Mustang Muni now,
Gotta slow that bus price down,
You’ve been driving all over town,
just like a money bloodhound...
Muni suffered another major loss recently when spokesman Judson True announced that he will be leaving his post to serve as a legislative aide to Board of Supervisors President David Chiu. I asked True for a quote on the matter. I was hoping he’d say something like, "I’m switching because - say what you want about David Chiu - he doesn’t kill people."
But True (who’s single) simply (and hilariously) deadpanned, "I’m leaving to spend more time with myself. I might read ‘Ulysses.’"
