Stephanie Wiggins is a political hack, with experience mostly as a political "fixer", and who has really had no comparable previous experience in running a large transit operation like MTA.
But, in fact, Stephanie Wiggins had almost nothing to do with this issue of the Christmas train budget and/or lack of at ML.
But she is the one who gave us massive MTA service cuts to bus and train services, and did nothing about the crime surge, and helped to enable and give us the purely political "mother of all terrible transit projects" (to paraphrase the late dictator Saddam...) the SOFI people mover fiasco.
As I've noted, LACMTA is not ready for the Olympics, and MTA's current state of management (or rather mis-management....) is one of the reasons. But no, this story about her and the ML Christmas train funding appears to be nonsense.
