Readers endorse fiscal control board for the T

The state Senate has agreed to put the MBTA under the management of a fiscal control board, a priority of Gov. Charlie Baker after this year’s severe winter weather caused equipment breakdowns, as well as service delays and widespread cancellations on the public transit system. The T is important here in Central Massachusetts since the commuter rail lines that extend to Worcester, Fitchburg and Franklin bring workers into and out of the region. Will a fiscal control board help? Most respondents to our poll for the week of May 25 said “yes.”
