The previous board was highly regarded and actually ran the T very well. They got capital projects such as the GLX and SCR back on track and even planned for commuter rail electrification. Any progress the previous board made was pulled back when the Baker-appointed board was put in charge in 2021.

The board was Baker appointed from the beginning. GLX has never been on track over budget and behind schedule from the beginning. AFC 2.0 is the same. Green line train protection is even worse. The orange and red line trains speak for themselves. What did they get correct? They had a 3 year moratorium on the tax payer protection act and all they did was give private contractors capital projects that went over budget and behind schedule.
