How can they truly be accountable? We didn'tlearn about the misapropriation of funds until after the fact! The fact that the MTA dares on a now annual basis to implement fare raises is simply unacceptable. We should be victims of inacurate financial forcasting, or blind to the fact that the MTA indeed does have money. The mta recently issued a test to 20,000 applicants at a $20-$30 fee. Guess what? THEY ARE NOT HIRING! Where does all of that extra revenue go? We need to have an annual inquistion into the finaical detailing of the mta. True the city is in a recession, but these flakes were crying poor long before the market crash. Now really why? Could be that memebers on the board actually have no experience in Tranist matters? How many tranist experts actually are sitting on the board right now? We have a con edision executive on board, a real estate partner- come on. The reasons for these alliances are obious and OBVIOUSLY it is time to break up this monopoly. Why do they get fre subway passes when they dont even use them? Come on. Im a college student. I coudl actually use and bebnfit from it. Any how Im going to vent at the final public meeting tonite, in the cold Bronx. Hope to see you all there. Oh BEN, Indeed are they?

No one involved in that book-cooking scandal is still at the MTA, and the current leadership is trying to negotiate its way through a financial crisis of an entirely different nature.

NOBODY went to jail for that major crime either. Yes I remember very clearly when Hevesi caught the MTA with 2 sets of books. NOBODY went to jail for that major crime either.

I'm also mad at the people in the MTA who are clearly stealing money. Remember the cooked books scandal?
