Get Rid of Linton Johnson or whatever his name is
Talk about someone who is full of all the crap people have to sit in on BART. This guy is just competely out of touch with everything that really goes on at BART and should do us all a favor and GO AWAY! What a waste of a salary.

useless pos.... what he only
useless pos.... what he only makes over $135k... to do what... stand in front on a camera and lie
Easily one of the LEAST
Easily one of the LEAST liked and respected individuals at BART.
Linton who? Come on $135k to
Linton who? Come on $135k to do nothing? NO wonder our fees keep getting increased.
BART's Fat Cat Soup: How can
BART's Fat Cat Soup:
How can we (the robotic idiots paying these amounts via record high taxes & fares) get a list - a printed list - of the entire group of people getting those jumbo salaries for "running" BART ?!?
What amounts are each getting anyway ??? !!! ???
Also, what retirement bounties await them for their "service" ?? !! ??
And, wouldn't it be VERY interesting knowing what "qualifications" got them those vaulted positions in the first place ?!?
Folks, we're drowning in "Fat Cat Soup" while these jokesters laugh all the way to the bank and their jumbo retirement plans .....
I have no proof of this, but
I have no proof of this, but have heard that serving on the BART board has a benefit of free health care for life. $0 copay, $0 prescriptions.
Anyone out there into investigating things like this?
linton johnson the person who
linton johnson the person who goes to sleep at 2:00 am only to wake up at 5:00 am just to tell you what is happening at bart
get to know him
How much do you want to bet
How much do you want to bet Linton never rides BART either. I would like to see him discuss all the theft and other problems at BART instead of just communicating to media about delays, sometimes inaccurate info as well. If they eliminate him, maybe BART can secure the parking lots better.
linton goes on and to bart
linton goes on and to bart every day he works there duh he knows every living sole that works there and does his job rite
Why do we not like Linton
Why do we not like Linton Johnson? Just curious?
Wildly overpaid media
Wildly overpaid media suck-up and spokes-poodle. A beautiful example of the excesses and abuses at BART.
Someone said he wasn't like
Someone said he wasn't like or respected...Is that just becuase he's "overpaid". Or, is there something more to him?
i think it is because they
i think it is because they are a bunch of jerks linton is one of the best people i have ever known and you guys had better shut up just because he makes good money to be on tv and tell the bart people what he is allowed to and can does not mean you people need to be stupid all about it and he is not "over paid" he deserves his money for all he works he probably gets 2 hours of sleep every night trying to report for the people for the people that are complaning that he is getting overpaid without him you would not know half the stuff that is going on at bart stations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
overpaid? is that an
overpaid? is that an opinion, I am more curious how much other companies that are comperable pay media staff before I can make that statement.
There was a post sometime
There was a post sometime back about Linton making as much as 300K per year. I don't care about "comperable" pay for other media staffs---that's the same argument the oil company execs use to justify their obscene incomes. Whether it turns out to be 135K, 300K or whatever, it is too damn much for a public agency that is broke all the time and can't even afford to keep its equipment in decent running condition.
And the card were kept
And the card were kept halfway clean. I wish I had an oxygen tank and mask so i didn't have to smell pee for two hours a day, not to mention my own portable chair to sit in.
Yes, they need to do
Yes, they need to do something about the cars. I don't understand why I pay money through my property taxes, BART fares, and umpty other ways that BART service never gets any better; just worse.
Linton is sure quite the
Linton is sure quite the b.s. artist.

It appears that Linton has finally saved up enough money to buy his mom a computer.
