For those who are wondering why I'm been so agitated about the MTA
of late, aside from the obvious, reead this email I got.
These vultures want nothingbut to give our Bridges to the MTA and
pretend tha sending 15.2 billion dollars on the LIRR connection
to Grand Central to be rational sending without which the Subway system
would sli back into the 1970's Its nonsense.
Please call Krugers office today and suort him and tell him to
break up the MTA.
Ruben

Dear Ruben,
Tomorrow - March 25th - is the deadline for lawmakers to decide
the fate of New York's transit riders, but they still haven't
agreed on a plan to fully and fairly fund the MTA.
The Ravitch/Silver plans ask all sectors to contribute to keep
our city on the move - but a handful of senators are holding out
against it.
YOUR senator is one of the "Fare Hike Four," stubbornly fighting
for a plan that, according to Reuters, would force the MTA to
raise fares by 17%!
If our leaders don't pass an MTA funding plan today, we're going
to face a transit doomsday - paying $104 for a monthly
Metrocard, saying goodbye to entire subway lines and dozens of
bus routes, and experiencing longer waits and more crowding.
This is your last chance to be heard! Call your state senator
right now:
1. For Senator Kruger, call
(518) 455-2460.
2. Tell the staffer who answers:
* I represent the majority of your constituents who will be
severely impacted by the MTA's 23% fare hike and drastic bus and
subway service cuts;
* New Yorkers demand a plan - like the Ravitch/Silver plans -
that includes funding from ALL sectors, including businesses,
drivers, and transit riders;
* We must not only prevent doomsday fare hikes and service cuts
but also cover the costs of maintaining and improving the
transit system.
3. Hit reply to this email to let us know how your call went!
Please don't skip this step - this information is very valuable
to us as we talk to your lawmakers in Albany!
After you call, spread the word! Forward this email to your
friends and family and encourage them to look up their state
senators at
http://ga3.org/ct/WdX_u441OSpU/
and use the message above to call in their support for a plan
like the Ravitch/Silver plans.
Your call can help keep the transit system working for all New
Yorkers, protecting our environment and our economy, even during
difficult times. We all benefit from public transit - we should
all do our part to fully and fairly fund the MTA.
Today is the day. Let's make sure our decision makers know that
New Yorkers won't accept a transit doomsday!
Sincerely,
Michael O'Loughlin
Campaign for New York's Future
P.S. After your call, check out the Transportation Alternatives'
MTA Telethon video - and find out about the event they'll be
holding tomorrow in Union Square.
