"And they're not because Cuomo is a political coward."Or, as someone else opined, a political calculator. The shutdown was ordered because Princess Andrew believed there was a benefit to him. He's got plenty of spin practice and will attempt to spin this to his advantage. I was not aware that a snow shutdown was never done until recently, but am aware that the system is 100+ years old. With that info, I change my opinion to "this was done for BS, not out of wisdom". For the MTA alone, how much are the extra costs incurred by the shutdown? I'm guessing this costs the NYC economy a nine to ten figure amount, and far more tri-state, offset by the benefit to those who can afford it of having sorta vacation day. |
