I think she was doing her job as chair of the senate money committee.  The mayor and HART told the legislature just two years ago that a five-year extension would be adequate.  Now they’re back asking for more money.  

It’s her fiduciary responsibility to understand what the city and HART have done to look for funding other than another increase from the state, especially given all the errors HART has with respect to its cash, revenues and expenditures.
