I dunno.. Minorities use public transit heavily. It could be contract steering. Ideological bent. Hard to say with that idiot.

But what troubles me about this is, he's saying it.. When anyone else in his shoes would be hiding under the Resolute desk in shame.

It's really the construction unions who are lobbying for this crap. I remember when they had a referendum to build the international airport in Denver. A friend of mine at the time made a living driving a cement truck. His union was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying to get the referendum passed.
