Wait, didn&#8217;t the newly elected WBOC members <em>RUN</em> on education funding being the top priority?</p>
<p>Yes, they did.</p>
<p>Now they&#8217;re saying a $2.3 BILLION dollar Transit plan comes first?</p>
<p>Yes, they are.</p>

<p>Buses over Kids. Nice.</p>
<p>New WBOC member <a href="http://ladyliberty1885.com/?s=John+Burns" target="_blank">John Burns</a>, jumped in to <a href="https://twitter.com/nckhui/status/693930340411248640" target="_blank">spin</a> the WBOC&#8217;s about face as &#8220;a new strategy for smoothing debt&#8221;.</p>

<p>Yeah, <em>right.</em><br />
Mr. Burns&#8217; &#8220;Smoothing&#8221;,  translated: Cutting voters out of the loop on how you hike their taxes and spend their money.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget, Mr. Burns telegraphed this flip-flop <a href="http://ladyliberty1885.com/2015/06/13/wbocs-john-burns-breaks-campaign-promises-show-his-political-biases/" target="_blank">last June </a>in a rather long-winded and condescending Facebook post.</p>
