keller@large. >> good morning. thanks for joining us. i don't want to evoke a bad memory, but you may recall that just about a year ago this weekend, we were on the verge of a record shattering stretch of snow and cold that brought the area to a halt. here we are to talk about it, the state's secretary of transportation. stephanie about to see you again. >> good to see you. >> thank you for coming in. you didn't take the t here, did you? >> no, but i took it to work. commuter rail from newton, sometimes the green line to keep an eye on it. >> we haven't seen the snow yet, knock on wood if there is any wood in here. really. but we still have had problems on the system, most recently this week i guess the green bush line crash. expected?

rate the progress so far. >> so you know, we've definitely had hiccups. most of them haven't been weather related. you're running a system with 40 and 50-year-old cars, there is going to be hiccups. i think one of the reasons he may feel worse is one of the biggest criticisms of last winter is we communicated poorly. people didn't know whether the unacceptable. so we've really upped the ante on communicating, which means every time there is this kind of service issue, we're letting people know. people are hearing a lot about what is going wrong. >> well, i know there is fantasyland, but let's play. if money were not an issue, how long would it take to fix these chronic problems you just referenced, the aging equipment, the aging infrastructure? and how much money would you need? >> it's hard to answer a hypothetical question because

writing the check. but this is what i would say. the most important thing right now is to get the t itself to be a high functioning, high performing, customer oriented agency. so that whether it has a little money, a lot of money or somewhere in between, it can actually deliver. i have to tell you right now if someone wrote us the check today, i'm not sure that the agency is ready to put the pieces together that would be required to perform. so what we're trying to really do is, yes, trying to rebuild the system. but we're trying to rebuild the agency too. >> that's still a problem because a distinctly recall you last year being shocked and angry about the discovery that the bureaucracy couldn't spend the money it had. yeah. we've got a new general manager, new chief operating officer, new chief administrator. the control board really has been meeting every week, are

they're doing a great job. we're in a much better place than we were a year ago in terms of building an agency that can deliver for its riders. >> how about the union cooperation? >> i would say that our workforce wants us to succeed. we've been talking to them. i think the proof will be in the pudding. we haven't made any changes in contracts or workforce rules. >> no privatization yet. >> we haven't put the first on the street, but we have a lot of requests for proposals and information out. and that process will start, so we'll see how that will go. so far what everyone has said from folks inside the t to folks in the ledge late tur is we all want this to work. >> let's take a short break. when we continue, we'll talk about the green line extension with the secretary of

dear fellow citizen, i know what it' s like to buy a house. i know how it feels to be stressed about money. i understand what a scary word "retirement" is, and i can help. because i' m not just a fellow dad, fellow mom, fellow saver, i' m a fellow citizen. who gets up every day and tries her best. just like you. sincerely, elizabeth trackler samantha parke robert kennedy deanna morrison jared duemling alex payne [mother] yeah but this neighborhood,i feel like it's got a lot of what we were kinda talking about. the kitchen is light and bright,new. we should definitely go see it.

welcome back to our conversation with stephanie transportation. i don't know how many of our viewers know that before you came on to join the baker administration, you were an analyst, transportation analyst and activist. you worked for the conservation law foundation. correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe you were there when they sued the state in connection >> i was. in the early '90s. >> and cut the agreement that allowed that to go forward in exchange for, among other things, promises to expand public transit. i think we now know there have been huge cost overruns in the planning on that. in hindsight with the perspective you now hold, was that lawsuit a mistake. >> no. the idea of building a 400 million he expansion was a great idea.

the benefits are the same, the kofs are higher. we need to revisit the project and see if we can get it back to a price tag that is a good value for the taxpayers of massachusetts. >> so you and the t board have basically fired the old managers and brought in a new set. what exactly is the mandate? are you saying this amount and no more, figure out a way to make it work and whatever cuts you to make in the design, go for it sth is that the gist. >> more or less. the federal government put a billion on the table and so did the state. we have two choices. figure out a way to build it for $2 billion or if communities are willing to p put money on the table, we can go north of that. but we don't want to spend more than a billion in state taxpayer

>> what are you hearing from the cities? >> they're interested. it's hard because everybody who came before them got their project for free, right. you never want to be the first one to be told you only get that transit investment if you pay for it. we've been talking to the city of cambridge and we're on sort of a 90-day plan and we'll come back to the board in april and may and let folks know. >> out of all the bloet that had apparently crept into the manning for the project, what shocked you the most? >> i think the fact that there were only a handful of managers at the t managing it and they were burning through about a million a week to do management burn rate for about a year. >> that is the old iflt scam in

i've been hearing that for the 80 or so years that i've been covering massachusetts politics. >> and i was a consultant. we do need some to xwet projects done. >> i get that. >> but the ratio of the hard money that goes into building for the overhead tore this project was out of whack. >> stephanie, thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> appreciate you coming by. good luck let's catch up soon. >> it's back over to my colleagues for more wbz news. we're talking about the snow last year, the crippling effect. >> oh, boy. way. i know it's too soon to tell, but it was this weekend last year or the nement weekend? >> next weekend. >> very, very similar. forecast models have not been in agreement. all of a sudden today, a couple models agree for next friday into saturday.

ways to go that it could completely miss us. so far, we're waiting for a one inch plus, one single snowstorm here in boston. the first longest wait, february 4 14th of 2007, i don't think we'll get quite that far to wait for the tonight into tomorrow, we could make a run at that record in. current temperatures 33 degrees 33 in nashua. a chilly start to the day. and not much of a difference with our temperatures in your hour-by-hour forecast. as we go through this afternoon , mid-30s. 34 degrees for a good portion of the day. just barely touching 35 for that high in boston. mid-to upper 30s across the board with some locations to the south and east such as nantucket getting close to 40 degrees. teens. with areas on the outer cape and islands around freezing.

system moves in. two systems we're tracking tonight. one to our south and another to the north and west. these two systems head our way in your hour-by-hour forecast. we start at 9 a.m. this morning. notice the clouds increase p in coverage from south to north over the course of this afternoon. by 8 p.m., we're starting to experience wet snow flakes mixing in with rain on the cape and buzz ard bay. the second system moving in from the northwest is going to help trigger some lift, enough so that the ski resorts will get fresh snow monday morning. but also helping to enhance our development for an isolated snow shower in the hills and potentially moving towards the boston area. monday morning commute, it is going to be a rough one. stay tuned. we'll be here. i'll be here to keep you updated on anything that does develop.

snow is gone, but we have a few more flurries to develop maybe. overnight, one to three inch from cape ann to cape cod. isolated locations getting the higher amounts. it all depends where the heavier snow bands set up. stay tuned. coating to one inch looking likely for boston and everyone else. seven-day forecast, we stay cold this next week. monday's high, 20 degree degrees. it's going to be blustery and uncomfortable. wednesday 29. still in the 20s thursday into friday. friday into next saturday, the potential for a coastal storm here giving us either a lot of snow or absolutely nothing. stay tuned. we'll keep you posted all week long. >> pamela, thank you. the republican candidates for president dominate the political news cycle, but the democrats quietly take the stage for what could be their most important televised debate to date. tonight will be the last debate

through a blanket over me and ran over. everyone was still in the house. started banging on the doors and ringing bells. get out, everybody, get out. >> right now fire crews are looking into exactly what caused this fire. days after the death of her husband, more heart break for singer celine dion and her family. yesterday her brother, daniel died after a battle with cancer at 59 years old. he was being treated for cancer of the throat, tongue, and brain. on thursday, celine dion's husband died of throat cancer. the family is asking for privacy. pamela has a look at our forecast now.
