		<description>I might be mistaken here, but didn't Russianoff praise the "agreement" rammed through by then-Gov. Spitzer that held the base MTA fare at $2 while increasing fares for the system's most frequent riders?

I also have to wonder why Russianoff always describes himself as the "Senior Attorney" (sometimes just "Staff Attorney") for the Straphangers Campaign, which suggests he's just a guy on the staff. In fact, as far as I can tell, Russianoff &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; the Straphangers Campaign. In the years I've been following it, I've never heard of &lt;em&gt;anyone&lt;/em&gt; at Straphangers that outranks Russianoff. So why can't he just say that he's the &lt;em&gt;head&lt;/em&gt; of the Campaign, instead of perpetuating this farce that he's merely an attorney on the staff?</description>
