Most Washington, D.C. residents told Spectrum News they had little to no knowledge of the governor’s tax-payer backed plan.
WASHINGTON — A Texas-native from Irving and then San Marcos, Buffalo & Bergen restaurant manager Brian McSwain is a man to know in the Capitol Hill district. The recent news of Gov. Greg Abbott’s state-sponsored bus program to the nation’s capital has been on his radar, but in his opinion hasn’t picked up much steam to this point.
Located one block away from Union Station, McSwain says it’s not uncommon to see hundreds of buses throughout the day. “We’re so used to here, having protests every week, marches, everyone who wants to save the world is always here doing something,” McSwain said. “So, it doesn’t really hit our radar when there’s another ‘PR’ stunt.”
Originally from Texas , McSwain is hearing frustration from family and friends back home regarding the tax-payer based bus program from Del Rio to Washington, D.C.
