Quinn 'Disappointed' About Congestion Pricing
Here is Christine Quinn’s statement on the death of congestion pricing, which says she is “disappointed that we missed an opportunity” and describes today as a “setback.”
Neither Quinn's statement nor the statement from Michael Bloomberg aide John Gallagher mention Sheldon Silver by name.
Here’s the full statement:
“I am disappointed that we missed an opportunity to make a significant
investment in our mass transportation system, an investment that would
have secured the long-term vitality of our city and improved the health
of people living in our most congested neighborhoods.In spite of this setback, the Council remains fully committed to
environmental responsibility and to improving and expanding our mass
transit system. We must now build new coalitions around forward-looking
transportation policy that will improve public health and move people
out of their cars and into buses, trains and ferries.”
Quinn turned out to be just ANOTHER corrupted NY politician, after Pataki, Spitzer, $100million Hillary, bloomberg, patterson, etc.
Rome was not as corrupt as NY now!
How does Hillary pulls in $20million a year while work "full time" as a public servant?
Why Bloomberg approves Quinn's dirty-money budget requests?
"Congestion Pricing"? nothing more than taxing New Yorkers to keep the 2nd Avenue subway projects going so his rich friends can have more "transportation options", just like the unneeded "olympic bid" to enrich his developer friends.
If the corrupted bloomberg and quinn really want to reduce pollution and reduce traffic, all they have to do is to make (their rich taxi owners) all NYC taxis electric, and allow only non-gas engines in NYC during rush hours.
Bloomberg. You're a loser! Go Home.
Mayor bribed City council members with millions of dollars while his human service and health agencies were being cut, he doled out oodles of cash.
Mayor bribed Bruno with $2 million to keep State Senate republican in order to get Bruno's vote for congestion pricing.
Mayor was not able to prove that congestion would be reduced or that improvements of buses and subways would happen.
Simple fact: Mr. Mayor you failed. Term limits coming up. Get lost! You are no leader.
Score one for Steve Harrison...Zero for Councilman Recchia. Sorry pal you voted the wrong way. Whatever the Mayor & Quinn promised you..it's not going to happen now.
These politicians and their assistants wont have to pay Im sure the money for their cars will come from us the taxpayers AND Mark Z great idea make all NYC taxis electric and while we are at it stop the double parking. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see all the various places that have a tradition of double parking 14th street lower 7th and today I saw a new one on 6th and 18th in front of all the Big Box stores Totally out of control
