The Washington Post Local Blogging Network features a post today co-written by Catherine Hudgins and Chris Zimmerman, WMATA Board representatives from Fairfax and Arlington Counties. In the letter they respond to Virginia transportation secretary Sean Connaughton’s demand that Northern Virginia elected officials relinquish two WMATA Board seats to instead be appointed by the administration in Richmond.

The letter is a reminder to those who think Metro couldn’t possibly get any worse that yes, actually it could.
