So what we have here is a dilemma of government structure. If the city is unable to amass enough tax revenue to fund the transit system without Albany, then, the city is at the mercy of upstate. I will remind those younger than I of Norman Mailer's campaign for mayor which called for the city to become the 51st State. At the time, 43 % of NYS tax revenues were collected within the five boros of which 16 % came back as state expenditures. The 27% 'donated' to upstate would easily have covered the various shortfalls of the 70s. And,FWIW Rockefeller and Lindsay did not play nicely together. |
