New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo introduced a plan to completely overhaul LaGuardia Airport that comes with a $4 billion price tag for the first part. He made the announcement Monday at a luncheon detailing new infrastructure plans for his state. Vice President Joe Biden was at the meeting.

"It is actually happening," said Cuomo. "LaGuardia Airport is un-New York."

HRC could use one too.
When it’s done, it’ll be a $28-billion dollar facelift.
Four billion, my a$$
Those union and mob boss boys don’t come cheap. I’m certain the job will take forever to complete. Gots ta’ get that OT!

They can start with the ladies’ room at the Delta terminal....just....eyew.....
How is it possible to spend $4 billion in such a small area in such a short time? Even without cost overruns, this seems pricey.
How can they spend $4B without filling in a bunch of more wetlands

They should start over someplace else. Last place looks irrecoverable to me. I like the sign on a nearby rooftop: IF YOU CAN READ THIS SIGN, ADD POWER.
Larry Craig gets a memorial room of adjacent stalls?
Uh..that would be the MEN’S room...ain’t never been therer!

That’s OK. The actual facelift will cost a small fraction of that. The rest will line the pockets of crooks. Politicians love big construction projects because it’s so easy to skim money without getting caught.
$4 Billion Tax Dollars in New York City might, and I repeat MIGHT, get you two or three OAHA/ADA-compliant bathrooms.
So, who’ll be paying for La Shartia’s make over? NYers or will it be funded federally (We the Taxpayer?).
I tried to do a search on who’s paying, but couldn’t find anything. TIA for any info.
More importantly... what percent of the 4 billion will unions send back to Democrats?
LOL...the unions (SEIU) are already complaining that they weren’t consulted on how much they’d be getting paid for this reno work. Good grief...are they EVER happy?
Joe: "Can you say "Kickbacks", Governor?"
Great pic. God help us...
