BOROUGH PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT ON MTA AUDITS BY THE STATE AND CITY COMPTROLLERS
“It is reprehensible to think that the MTA wants
to force overburdened Brooklynites to pay more while its bank account
is apparently flush. Governor Pataki, Brooklynites are sick and
tired of being taken for a ride by the MTA. These outrageous findings
need to be immediately addressed by the Governor. During this fiscal
crisis, we need to know how we spend every dollar. We demand respect,
we pay the MTA's salaries and we expect accountability. The only
ride we want from the MTA is one that is safe, inexpensive, clean
and dependable."
