“L” does not stand for Logical

Today's Trib reports:

“The CTA board last month approved the purchase of 265 new buses for $95 million, and it will soon seek bids on new rail cars. A long list of projects include repairs to track and signals, communications and security systems and the rehabilitation of viaducts and facilities.”

  Now, this may be a stupid question, but why is the CTA buying $95 million in bus and trains if it feels it has to cut bus routes and train service to plug a $55 million deficit. Oh, because it's a FAKE deficit. I almost forgot.
