Grab your favorite blanket and a stuffed animal while we review the monthly board meeting. You'll save about 2 1/2 hours by listening here first. Also, we take another look at operator assaults. As you're listening, think about this question. "You're the operator in the seat and someone doesn't have enough money to ride. What would you do?" Now, flip it around; you're the passenger. How would you want the driver treating you?" I interview retired bus driver Al Margulies about this issue. His remarks will make you think.
