FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Political Talk Topic: MTA conclusion ?

Author    Post   last time here Guest i have not come to a conclusion about MTA's art purchase. i cannot call Foy wrong. i understand his wish to improve the status of MTA and i see nothing wrong with that. some may say too much was spent at the bus terminal and to that i'd say the purchases were meant to make traveling by bus more enjoyable and i see nothing wrong with that. i ride my bicycle in the summer and last year i got a flat by carpenter road. i hadn't taken a bus in 35 years. thank god the bus driver was very helpful! the terminal was very clean, well secured and actually enjoyable. as to the expense of art at the main building, i'd say perhaps the news should have been given to the public by MTA so as to avoid any "implications" of impropriety. it would have, in my eyes, been wise to include highschool and college students talent in making the selected art pieces AND have been a tremendous public relations coup!! what are your views??? _________________ Guest post Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:35 am  twotap F L I N T O I D Isnt their a business on the SW corner of carpenter and dort that could have patched that leaking tire for ya or at least made you forget about it for a while. I believe they also have a form of artistic expression going on. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times.

Most of which the public would NOT see. Also in the Flint Journal article, I think that it was Foy that stated something along the lines of that the money THEORETICALLY could have been used for the buses. Well, then why wasn't it? _________________ Build a bridge and get over it!

Well, then why wasn't it? Obviously the art work (including behind closed doors) was more important to Mr. Foy than new buses. Personally, I think if it was that important to him (especially behind closed doors) he should have bought it himself.
