Spitzer Screws Hookers and Transit System

Posted on March 13th, 2008 by The SUBWAYblogger in Live Blogging On the Subway

Just when you thought some serious decisions were finally going to be made in Albany about all things transportation in NYC, Spitzer had to get caught with his pants down.

Clearly, these developments throw some major wrenches in plans for things like congestion pricing and transit related budget issues. While the pols in Albany get their panties untwisted, we’ll just have to wait around.

Regardless of your opinion of Spitzer as a leader, at least some decisions were being made. Good or bad…at least once they were decided, we could all move on to the next thing.

That’s the most frustrating thing about politics…all the waiting and suspense.

For example, the fare hike. Personally, as a monthly card holder, I feel it was a little excessive. Needed perhaps, but a bit much. However, I’m just glad it is done! At least I know for the next year or two, the price will be the price. I can move on with my life.

Congestion pricing, well now what? If your for it or against it, wouldn’t you just rather have a final decision made so we could all move on.

I’ve got my fingers crossed that Patterson can get the momentum moving again.

    Spitzer said he wouldn’t let the fare be raised on his watch! I knew he couldn’t be trusted! They love to promise stuff and voters eat it up.

    People still have to work at the time they have to work. Charging more during congestin times is not going to change peoples schedules. Just add more straw to their backs.

    You could have not intended to do so, but I think you’ve managed to express the state of mind that a lot of consumers are in. The sense of wanting to assist, but not knowing how or where, is one thing quite a lot of us are going via.

    Thanks for the tips you have discussed here. Something else I would like to say is that laptop memory demands generally go up along with other breakthroughs in the technological know-how. For instance, any time new generations of cpus are made in the market, there’s usually a corresponding increase in the size calls for of both the personal computer memory as well as hard drive room. This is because the application operated through these cpus will inevitably surge in power to take advantage of the new technological innovation.

    I additionally believe that mesothelioma cancer is a extraordinary form of most cancers that is commonly found in those people previously subjected to asbestos. Cancerous cellular material form while in the mesothelium, which is a defensive lining that covers almost all of the body’s bodily organs. These cells commonly form in the lining on the lungs, belly, or the sac which actually encircles one’s heart. Thanks for expressing your ideas.

    A further issue is that video games usually are serious anyway with the major focus on mastering rather than amusement. Although, it has an entertainment facet to keep your kids engaged, every single game is generally designed to develop a specific set of skills or programs, such as mathematics or research. Thanks for your publication.
