Yesterday the Boston Globe reported that the state legislature is cool to the Governor's revenue proposals (including the .19 gasoline tax) and is actively planning to simply cut the budget to reach solvency.
Today though, the Globe reports that the MBTA is about to go bankrupt and will be forced to cut service down to a level appropriate to Manchester New Hampshire unless someone comes up with 165 million.
So...the game is on mah frenz...and it's being played out on the front page of the region's biggest newspaper. You would never see this level of engagement from the Boston Herald so think twice and think hard about what civic life would really be like without the Boston Globe's unique platform.
