No, it’s a local issue. No reason folks in Buffalo should pay for New York City problems.

Back to federal aid to the states which the Constitution does not delegate to the feds and which the states should refuse.

The illegality is on the feds, not the states. The states are just stupid to take the federal aid.

STOP UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL AID TO THE STATES NOW!!!

The arrogance of big fish in small pond democrats is breathtaking.

That she thinks she can order the rest of the world around to suit her is the height of arrogance, but actually not unusual for power drugged democrats.

State issues and governance are considered "local" issues and governance.

No reason folks in Buffalo should pay for New York City problems.

That is up to the people of NY State to decide.

Increase the subway fares. The subway should be able to support itself without subsidies from external sources.

Can we all at least be glad we don’t live in NY?

Uh, Governor, how’s about you crack down on all the fare beaters first. Just a thought.

Fixing the subways has nothing to do with upgrading the trains themselves or the infrastructure around them.

It has everything to do with eliminating the threat to one’s life experienced when using the system and the people who are responsible for that threat.

No amount of money can fix that problem unless the city/state government is willing to fix the core issue that makes subways dangerous, and as long as the left is in control, that won’t happen.

“This smells like a state’s issue not a federal gov’t issue.”

They took federal funds to build the roads, bridges and tunnels thus obligations are incurred related to getting federal approval of tolls.

Biden’s team fast-tracked approval last year.

What a dumb #%$!. The biggest fix is to put armed cops on every train ready to kill the vermin that are holding up / attacking / killing passengers. Maybe riders will feel safe and start riding the subway again.

For all the Federal tax dollars you were given by Biden’s Homeland Security, and spent on housing illegals in 4-Star hotels, you could have fixed your subway system 10 times over.

Maybe Hochul could cut spending elsewhere to fund it. I know, crazy idea!

Everybody and their brother pays for that damn subway system, that is run by democrats, yet it’s ALWAYS in the hole.

Here’s an idea, make it clean, dependable and safe and stop all fare beating then let’s see where we are in funding.

Also I’d be willing to bet that money intended for the subway somewhere along the line gets diverted. If Trump coughed up 15 billion Hocus Pocus would add 15 billion to something else.
