That's a wonderful article, and it's nice to see your byline again. I particularly loved your Leland Stanford railroad baron analogy which is completely apropos.
As for Chris Vein, I don't feel for the man at all. Having watched him in action over the years, I can't decide if he's incompetent or just mendacious. In any case, he's a disasterous head of Technology. Your quote is a perfect example: "What I've been tasked to do is try to figure out how to make that work in a different way, in a more efficient way, and I just, I haven't been able to figure it out yet," Vein lamented afterwards. And people wonder why government tech is so screwed up.

was just thinking about other things I'd like to see open. My choices: 311 calls, MTA complaints, mug shots...what else?
