Olson's PRT Pal Ed Anderson's Anti-Rail Transit Career

A book appeared in 2000 called "The Transportation Renaissance". It was written by a PRT fan called Edmund Rydell. He describes how Anderson and his pals got legislation passed in the early 1970's that prevented the Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC) from planning for rail transit:

"...Ed and others got legislation that took away from the [Metropolitan Transit] Commission its planning function. Over 20 years later, the Twin Cities still lacks an effective transit strategy."

Gasp! Kieffer and Anderson wanted to "spread public transit much more widely than in just a few corridors"!!! Yeah, what a couple of anti-transit a-holes.
