Independent inspector general has endured undermining behavior by transit district board members and the governor
Harriet Richardson has decided to retire March 17 rather than endure the remaining 4½ months of her four-year term as BART inspector general. There are no signs things are going to get better. Her announcement this week and explanation are completely understandable.
They are more interested in placating their labor union political backers than ensuring the transit agency provides riders with clean and timely train service and responsibly spends money. Bay Area voters were being asked at the time to approve bridge toll hikes to provide billions of dollars for transit agencies’ capital projects and operation expenses. The biggest beneficiary of capital money under Regional Measure 3 was BART, which will receive $1.1 billion, including $500 million for new cars and $375 million to help extend the system to San Jose.
Which is how Richardson got the job in 2019. She came with stellar auditing credentials that included three decades working for the federal government; Atlanta, Ga.; King County, Wash; Washington state; San Francisco; Berkeley and Palo Alto.
