Spitzer: MTA Fare Hikes Should Be "Last Resort"
NY1
[Governor-elect Eliot] Spitzer says he plans to review the agency's budget and financial plan during his transition, and he says while he wants to improve relations with bus and subway workers, it's also important that they help lower costs.
NoLandGrab: The MTA has been walking around with a "Reform Me" sign taped to its back for years now. The state agency has been making the public dizzy, vacillating between pleading poverty to justify fare hikes and union givebacks and announcing surprise surpluses, which allow for habitual real estate giveaways.
Is it any wonder that the MTA got caught with two sets of books?
Here's an idea for Spitzer, force the MTA to sell real estate to the highest bidder, (not the lowest, duh!).
