The Issue: Gov. Hochul’s $254 billion state funds, together with tax hikes to advance the MTA’s capital plan.
So I see Gov. Hochul’s funds is able to slam New York’s center class again (“MTA gets a bailout,” May 9).
Putting pace cameras on bridges and in tunnels and masking corrupt politicians’ legal charges — are the Democrats making an attempt to power the center class out of New York with this idiotic funds?
As a life-long resident, it’s getting fairly insufferable to stay right here.
