Title: Braude Beat: Safety questions on the MBTA

" Why -- might be laid her white busses break down. This is more. Because. Of the lack of funding other picture is sobering. And the problems are serious we now know exactly what. Needs to be fixed."

" On the Braude -- questions about the safety of riding the MBTA. You just heard from the man who wrote a report on T problems and reaction from Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. I asked everybody joins us now which he is take on all of that was the bottom line this report today Jim."

" Scary as but the bottom line is both well I Deval Patrick and doodles -- my radio show today and also probably only at 6 o'clock as well. They're both one out of the way to say we gotta get things in order we're gonna get the place back on the right footing before we even talk about. New money but I talking dolls under about the fact you can't stabilize or or make the stabilize the funding for this operation MBTA. Or make it solvent without the money whether it's -- increases or taxes or whatever he acknowledges that the answer is no so the question is not if the question is when."

" And interesting that he sent there is a section of T that he wouldn't."

" Rats I can't believe I read don't from the globe story and from his reporter talking about a piece of the red ones we've felt like from Harvard stations. There's a war early. Here's what the the -- of -- there's occurring -- tracks are moving out of one of the report states quote presenting the possibility of train derailment. So I said David -- Sandra. Would you ride that portion of the Red Line today. He paused for a second and gave me an honest answer is that no I would not. Now Deval Patrick ten minutes later said he would. So the question is for the commuter because of the report says they would -- the governor of the commonwealth of commission report said he would. What are real people supposed to that would have very scary situation by the way. Well that may be one of the worst feel like the Harvard -- in the Red Line it's not aberration was talking about fifty plus projects that serious repair problems. Which you section and also this is I don't know I think one of the issues for people -- themselves what do you do we -- kid if your kids running up. I don't know what the answer is -- the public shouldn't be put into position that the decide between two leaders and their position on the issue that's scary whatever it."

" Scary is the word ha. RA moving on to another topic here Republicans are jazzed up about 2010 after some big -- yesterday nationally. Here's reaction from the GOP chairman."

" People last night in these two states. Took a moment to reflect over the last nine -- ten months. So listen to and evaluate how what we're hearing at the national level translates locally. I can tell you is a former state official. Where Washington acts we feel it. At the state level when they make decisions we often times have to pay for it at the state level so you."

" Eyes. Aren't present."

" It was definitely. I thought I was moving money is still talking here because what happens you some occasionally -- physical evidence at that tape there at your microphone a percussion what do you think is as a referendum on Obama."

" That I don't know what the answer is yes Obama is a party lost the governor's -- New Jersey region not a shocker on Virginia Obama was in New Jersey five times for -- that that is lost on the other hand. Sarah pale and are always conservative Republicans support this this. Not a guy Hoffman from the Conservative Party in upstate New York. And the Democrats -- wanna see it's been Republican for about 400 years give or take a few Saudi could split decision most significant thing coming out of these. -- that more than 80% of the voters an exit polls in both Virginia and New Jersey said they were worried or very worried about the state of the economy. So I don't but the bad news for Obama yesterday if it continues its bad news for Democrats in 2010. We'll keep going at it much can change a lot of that's a very fun time and changing the tax. Yeah it's a very well have to say we will only thing --"
