And there's the problem. @Gotham Bus Co has said it before, and I agree with him (I assume you're a him). Politically, if they fix the problem, they won't have anything to complain about, thus win more votes. Put it like this: ''Tis mot the Politician's job to fix the issues, but to remain in office'' or something to that effect.
Hell, I never expected them to "let" Byford fix things anyway.
