Willie Wilson: It’s time to make Chicago transit safe – Chicago Tribune*

"Springfield lawmakers may have saved our region’s transit agencies with over $1 billion in funding — but unless Johnson makes the CTA safer and there is financial accountability, previous levels of ridership won’t come back. This could have a negative impact on businesses."

Now it’s time? Get lost. The time was 20 years ago.

Gosh…ya think “This could have a negative impact on businesses.” What a rocket scientist. Please before you waste a few hundred thousand on hiring specific security to sit on the trains and not be in the right place to help anyway…lets rescind the SafeT act and have laws that require criminals to be in jail and not immediately released. That stops the flow. Then at the same time hire armed security/police with the endorsement of enforcement by all to make the trains safe at what ever measure is needed.

If they do not allow thieves, muggers, drug dealers, and the homeless no one would be on the train at all.
