In a recent letter to the Boston Globe, Deval Patrick outlines his new plan for the transit system in Massachusetts. Although the plan calls for temporary increases in tolls, it also aims to eventually eliminate most tolls completely. Also, the plan will consolidate different transit agencies and reduce their size! That's right, consolidate and reduce!

My favorite quotes from the article:
"The bureaucracy should be radically simplified"
"We have eliminated millions of dollars in waste and duplication"
"First, we will consolidate agencies"
"Long term, our goal is to eliminate all tolls except at the harbor tunnels and border entry points"
Finally, a politician who believes in real change! Deval, I am with you on this one.
