MTA Chairman, William Ronan, knew how powerful Robert Moses was. So, he baited the hook with a n MTA Commissioner. After the TB&TA was absorbed into the MTA, Ronan froze out Moses by not inviting him to board meetings or other functions.I personally believe that a new NYCTA could work. The 1968 MTA was a lot different than the bloated bureaucratic entity it is today. They are bleeding NYC with high priced management, unneeded consultants, and sweetheart contracts with shady contractors. All of those TB&TA tolls and other incomes should go to the City, instead of the MTA. Also, put tolls on the free bridges over the East River. I'm still undecided about congestion pricing. |
