O’Malley fulfills a campaign pledge…

…and puts the breaks on the purple line. The delay no doubt will be used to beef up ridership numbers for the red line extension and corridor cities transitway, which together would cost less, serve more people who currently commute by car, and destroy fewer trees than the proposed purple line.

In other news, Rock the Vote political director and County Council wannabe Hans Reimer has found work with the Action Committee for Transit. If he’s as successful with the purple line as he was at getting Al Gore or himself elected, the Chevy Chase and Sligo neighborhoods should sleep soundly at night. On the bright side, transit will be a lot hipper with the slackers and cute chicks…
