Readers Write: Gov. Cuomo plays transit shell game

The Island Now

Andrew Cuomo flew to Washington this week and no he didn’t take the train because he never takes the train.

Cuomo flew down to Washington to beg President Trump for money to fix NYC’s subway system and to build the Gateway tunnel.

You are in charge of the MTA , right?

I didn’t see DeBlasio flying down to Washington so my money is on you, baby.

You haven’t been to Washington in four years but you need more money so you flew down to see the president.

You’d be a really bad first date. You want fed money now because state money just isn’t enough for you.

Where are you going to get the money to do the LIRR Third Track ?

Why did you force the New York State Legislature to pass your last ditch “I will put it in , now I will withdraw it $2 billion third track amendment.”

It’s the hokey pokey dance. It’s shell game time. It’s not nice to sell sand in the desert or snow in the winter.

I know you are going to try to float bonds to try to pay for your LIRR third track, raise fares, and get more money from the hard working taxpayers for your unnecessary Third Track project.

We all know where the bottleneck is, Andrew, and it’s not between Floral Park and Hicksville.

No one is even using your extra ferries and buses to get to work during your so called “summer from hell.”

The LIRR put extra cars on their existing trains and ran more trains outside of rush hour and bam the LIRR’s problem is solved.

Also people work from home nowadays.

I am sure you work from home.

Also remember this kiddo: AMC which means add more cars. Bam, your problem is solved.
