Althought the trains timeliness most days is uncertain, you can bet any amount of money our increased tax dollars will once again be wasted and squandered by the yahoos in Hartford whose only motto is &quot;tax and spend&quot;.  And as the price of gas here continues to skyrocket, the overcrowding on the trains will only get worse.  Meanwhile, the equipment is well beyond its useful lifespan and the new trains won&#039;t be in operation until who knows when -- if ever.  I often joke about being retired from my job before I have the opportunity to ride in one of them.  And at this point in time, it&#039;s looking as if it will be a fact!
