I hope they come up with something better in time but like you, I’m not expecting them to.

Hello Abba,

Pretty much in one way or another, everything is connected. It would not be possible to have separate budgets for each as both would depend on figures from the other.

Why can’t they have 2 budgets ? One for the MTA AND one for the city?

Hello Peter,

You bring up an excellent point on that failed promise. This unfortunately is to be expected from our “so called leaders”. I will be excited to see them prove us wrong but I am not holding out much hope for that happening.

Haha, I remember when Albany told the MTA they would help them if they asked for it, twice. They didn’t help last year nor will they help this year! As far as Malcom Smith goes, wow, I knew he was dumb but I had no idea how bad it was…
