Just when I thought Cuomo couldn't stoop any lower...

I saw that. It seems pretty bad, yes, but I also read it was easier to keep some trains running than it was to send them all to the depots like they did during Sandy. Had they done that we'd have had delays for long after the ban was lifted. And I shudder to think of all the slipping and falling that would have happened had people taken the trains. (Another thing we need: platform screens).

Either way though it does come across as bluster for appearances' sake. I might be projecting, but by all indications the boom in project launches under Bloomie has ground to a halt in the past year (and no, I am not just blaming de Blasio). All while they raise fares again. For what? Perhaps the problem is that the "liberal" cause of mass transit requires "conservative" solutions.

Why is the New Tappan Zee Bridge a "boondoggle", though? The current bridge is falling apart.

I hate him so much.

Yes, sometimes he can be too good at aping a right-winger, even for me.

BUMP

It occurs to me that maybe I conceded too much: there's a case to be made that you don't need to build a replacement at all! 

This is just too much for me to buy. Sorry.
