As the public digests the news that the MTA Finance Committee has approved recommending the Doomsday budget to the MTA Board, I’ll be on TV providing some reaction. Andrew Siff of WNBC interviewed me for a segment that will run during the 30-minute newscast at either 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. on Channel 4 in New York. I’ll also be a guest on Chuck Scarborough’s cable-only 7 p.m. news broadcast. Check here for channel information for the Nightly News broadcast.
As long-time readers of this site could guess, I’m not too happy about the news. The MTA Board has been forced into a corner, and the politicians in Albany are simply spewing excuses. If we’ve known about this impending problem for a year, well, so has Albany. It’s time for the politicians to stop playing games with transit. New York needs its transit funding, and the MTA is now on borrowed time.
