Chicago CTA Volatility, $95M Budget Hole, Service Cuts, 1100 Laid Off (Video)

CTA services will be cut on Sunday with 1,100 workers laid off. The video below is from ABC7 Chicago. They have a $95 million budget shortfall. I guess the 25 cent fare increase didn't help the situation. This is a disaster for Chicago workers and commuters.
