The CTA's plan to cut service dramatically and raise fares as high as $3 for express bus and rapid transit service is "very, very ugly," but so is the 30 percent drop-off in local tax revenue that created the crisis, Mayor Daley said Tuesday.
Although the plan to erase a $300 million shortfall was crafted by the mayor's handpicked CTA president, Daley stopped short of giving it his blessing in an apparent attempt to avoid taking the blame.
And the typical Shortshanks ploy - set up the minority fall guy in the big chair, then sidestep anything resembling "blame" lest someone get the bright idea of actually being able to run as a "reform" candidate against the corruption of the Machine.
