Dan Grabauskas fails to manage a crisis

Aaron Read is not one to blame Dan Grabauskas for everything that is wrong with the T - things were going wrong there long before Grabauskas moved over from the Registry of Motor Vehicles. But having said that, he blames Grabauskas for not using Schedulegate to push for better MBTA funding:

... Now he's got the worst of both worlds: the scandal is out and everyone above and below wants his head on a platter. The MBTA comes off looking even worse than usual (that's no mean feat, itself). And worst of all, there's no groundwork laid to leverage this scandal into embarrassing public officials into providing more funding that the T desperately needs...instead there will be just be demands that the T end the practice regardless of the impact on already-overtaxed resources.
