The Star Ledger is reporting that Jim Weinstein is stepping down from his position as Executive Director of NJ Transit in March. Weinstein has taken heat for leaving rail equipment in low lying areas that led to extensive damage during Hurricane Sandy. More recently, the agency has been criticized for massive overcrowding of trains during the Super Bowl.
Do you think Weinstein did a good job during his tenure or is it time for him to go in light of these recent problems? Comments welcome below.

Time for some free tolls to compensate for traffic problems...
In light of all of the recent stories, apologies, lawsuits and investigations arising out of the GW BridgeGate Scandal, a very easy way to make reparations to NJ commuters who use the Bridge would be to offer free car tolls and free bus service over the Bridge for a week. Of course, this should be done without any additional taxpayer expense. It is this blog's opinion that free tolls speak louder than words.
