Not to mention, The transit system could not handle the increase that would surely come. The idiot mayor refused to address the transportation issues that would have been enormous.
He and his buddies would have been riding around in great traffic while ordinary New Yorkers would have ben screwed waiting in long transit lines. The people of New York would have paid the legislators back big time.
Now I believe this one pretty well. I can see Bloomberg upping the congestion tax, but not adding more mass trans improvements.
And as someone born on staten island, I know what it’s like to huff it with mass transit.
