Another moron who can’t read.

I said that I hope whoever gets the contract manufactures the cars in Los Angeles because people here need jobs, and it would be awful to use our tax money to build the cars somewhere
else. I never said that the contract should go to a company that makes a bad product. Asking
about why the deal fell through is not a demand that this company get the contract.

Don’t they teach reading comprehension anymore? Seriously.

And you don’t know how to write, think, and probably walk and chew gum at the same time, Ms. Anna, city of Los Angeles municipal transportation infrastructure expert. Let’s see if you can name 5 things Villar has done to elevate the city of Los Angeles? And funneling taxpayer monies to his developer friends and manufacturing cronies is not one of them.

As I said, you don’t know how to read.

You write a lot of things that you deny two comments later. That’s why you are what you are, and why everyone likes to tear into you. Now it’s time for you to play, “What’s in your purse,” drippy.

Do you know how to read? Nowhere did I endorse that.

Furthermore, you’re a fool if you don’t think that this is first and foremost about jobs. The fact is that we don’t need those cars. Most poor people take the bus and it would be much more cost efficient if the city just improved the bus system. Get new buses and make them double decker. Problem solved.

Give tax monies to a collusive vendor who can’t produce an acceptable product solely because it will provide local citizens with jobs? Now that’s thinking that’s right on par with Rosario Marin.

Its beginning to sound like Anna the Latino Apologist and Loretta Sanchez are both plugged into the same small brain. Anna…what’s in your purse?

In any case, I hope the compnay that eventually gets the contract actually manufactures the cars in Los Angeles. It would be awful if we spent our tax dollars on cars that were manufactured somewhere else.

“Who stands to benefit from this deal falling through?”

The people of the greater Los Angeles metro area. Why should LA do business with a rail car company that doesn’t deliver what is promises? Don’t you think that the people deserve the most bang for their tax payer buck?

Maybe this article will help you:

This company builds rail cars that end up being too heavy (therefore requiring more structural costs to accommodate the heavier cars), and they also have a problem with delivering on time.

But Villar stands to benefit from using this company, since Steve Bing is one of his supporters.

re: “But this deal was never really about the jobs.”

That’s the top priority right now–jobs. This company was going to manufacture these cars in Los Angeles.

Who stands to benefit from this deal falling through?
