Déjà vu and the MBTA fiscal cliff (with Jim Aloisi & Charlie Chieppo)
This week on The Codcast, we dive into what can feel like a perennial story: the MBTA hurtling toward another financial shortfall that Beacon Hill needs to address. But at this point, is the significant growth in state funding for the T an acknowledgment that good public transit requires big public investment, or is it a reflection of out-of-control spending? Our guests, former Transportation Secretary Jim Aloisi and Pioneer Institute senior fellow Charlie Chieppo, debate that central question and more. Host: Chris Lisinski, senior reporter at CommonWealth Beacon Guests: Jim Aloisi, former transportation secretary Charlie Chieppo, senior fellow at the Pioneer Institute
