Problems at Metro, Pepco run deep

Re: “The appalling negligence of the Metro Board,” editorial, and “Underground power lines not cure-all,” July 29

As an outsider who lived in three states before moving here 17 years ago, I can assure area residents that other major transportation systems and utility companies do not operate as badly as Metro and Pepco. For both, the problem is decision makers acting with redneck logic, a hillbilly work ethic, and weak ethics.
