Leadership lacking on transit in Hillsborough

The comments last week by the chairman of Hillsborough County's mass transit agency illustrate why this region continues to lag behind other major metro areas in mass transit.
 Mike Suarez, the chairman of Hillsborough Area Regional Transit, scoffed at the notion that the county would be ready to present a transit package to the voters in 2016. "The boat has sailed on that," 
he said. Best to wait until 2018.
 That's a stall that has played out for decades, and it reflects a lack of vision and leadership that continues to hurt Hillsborough 
and the Tampa Bay region. here
