Earlier this week Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg was at a conference stating that construction projects in black neighborhoods don’t have blacks working on the project and more needs to be done! Let Mayor Pete tell his story.
“We have heard way too many stories from generations past of infrastructure where you got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of color, that finally sees the project come to them, but everyone in the hard hats on that project, doing the good paying jobs, don’t look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood,”
Obviously Mayor Pete doesn’t know what he’s talking about because the majority of these construction workers are Hispanic! This is the same Secretary of Transportation that now has had major incidents on the land, sea and air! We have the train derailment in Ohio, the logistics problem in Los Angeles, and the air travel meltdown over Christmas. Meanwhile he talks about racist highways from almost a century ago!
But; Secretary Buttigieg does put the transportation in Transportation Secretary. Mayor Pete was seen riding a bike to work to help with the environment. But; he did it after he unloaded his bicycle from a G-Ride (government vehicle). Pedaled down the street, followed by his G-Rides. Then stop biking down the street when he thought the cameras were off and then put the bike in the back and ride in the car for the rest of the short trip to work. He has taken at least 18 flights on private jets which cost us only $5,000 per hour! Buttigieg also flew to Portugal ( unknown if commercial or private plane) as Amtrak was cancelling trains due to the fact railroad unions were about to go on strike! Buttigieg was also on paternity leave with his husband with the California port crisis!
One thing you could say about Buttigieg (among many other things) is that he is consistent.
