That may be true, but again, we had worse storms that even what was forecast and the subways operated just fine.Yes, the winds were a factor, and you do bring up valid points. That said, we again had other storms where the subways operated just fine even when the snow was equal to or greater than what was forecast. This clearly was blowback for 2010 and the fear of that in my view and potential for use of it in attack ads by rivals against Cuomo if he runs for President in 2020 or '24 was why Cuomo ordered the shutdown, only now likely facing WAY more blowback than he EVER anticipated. As said, I think Cuomo is going to be warned by Wall Street if he tries this again outside of a Sandy/Irene situation, he could face a ton of unintended consequences and I suspect major firms are now looking at what legal action they could take against the Governor even in a state of emergency to block a full shutdown. |
