Check out this email sent to all alders from a Madison bus driver. This is as it was recieved.
dear councilwhy do you want to attract so many losers to madison.i have been driving city bus for 7 years.i have noticed there are more freeloaders than ever before.middle aged and young men riding the bus and hanging around while being drunk.also a lot of freeloading moms and there disrespectful kids giving you there attitudes.when will there be enough troublemakers here.we dont need people like konkel begging for more losers.you think with 2 murdered young ladies and there killers still on the loose we would have enough.the reason why i am writing to you is because we have to deal with the troublemakers you dont.thanks [name removed]
Ignore the part about me, that’s not the point. Is this what he thinks of his bus riders? Losers? How does he know that they are “freeloading moms” and what does that mean? Women on W-2 have to do 30 hours of work a week by volunteering or going to classes or looking for jobs. Should a guy like this really be driving a Madison Metro bus? How do you think he treats his riders if this is what he thinks of them? Maybe that’s why he gets an attitude back?
