This article on travel costs has been causing a lot of comment on the message boards. Note that the article does not really say anything definite. It also, like many newspaper articles, does not tell the whole story. The article states that Richmond's costs for Saturday's UMass trip have tripled in the last decade. That sounds bad. It does not say how much Richmond's budget has increased over the same period. Gotta make stuff look as bad a possible. Rule #1 in journalism school.
