Mayor Daley's Lukewarm on Millionaire Seniors Riding Public Transportation for Free

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on millionaire senior citizens riding the bus for free:

Mayor Daley on Saturday needled Gov. Blagojevich for tossing free bus and train rides for seniors into the mass-transit funding mix at the last minute and suggested the ploy could jeopardize the deal.

“Any politician can give things for free, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch,” Daley said at a news conference.

Rod Blagojevich understands, in politics, providing a freebie is a good way to bribe certain voting groups at the expense of others.
