In the comments to my post on the five Democratic State Senators who are current not supporting the plan to toll the East River bridges in order to support the MTA, reader John asks me list the contact info for the five holdouts. That is a great suggestion, and below you will find their information.
Remember these numbers from the Daily News when you call, write or e-mail these State Senators, urging them to support an MTA bailout plan. The numbers are similar for Kevin Parker (Brooklyn) and Ruth Hassle-Thompson (Bronx):
Fewer than 4% of Espada’s constituents drive to Manhattan, two-thirds use mass transit and more than 70% of households have no car. His people face subway reductions on the 1, 4, B and D lines. The Bx20, Bx34 and X28 buses would disappear, along with night service on the Bx10.
Only 5% of the commuters in Diaz’s district drive to Manhattan, and about 60% use transit. They’d see crowding on the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 subway lines. The Bx4, Bx14 and Bx28 buses would be wiped out.
About 5% of Kruger’s constituents drive to Manhattan; 10 times as many use transit. They’d get longer waits on the B, D, F, N and Q lines and elimination of weekend or night service on the B2, B4, B7, B31 and B64.
