I?ve been hoping to catch a glimpse of one of those six-figure Metro Transit drivers. You know the ones. Those overpaid working stiffs who do nothing but drive around all day in air-conditioned buses, raking in our hard-earned tax dollars like so many Capitol-bound commuters. For comparison?s sake, UW Athletics Director Barry Alvarez and UW football coach Bret Bielema get $500,000 and $400,000, respectively, per year out of a public university?s coffers. Should they? The not-for-profit, tax-exempt UW Foundation puts another several hundred thousand more into their pockets. Should it?
