Public tax money to indirectly support the private interests of real estate developers.One only needs to look at the many casualties of MTA capital construction plans. Disaster because the MTA spends someone else.s money. A symptom of socialism, unfortunately. I suspect that you may not have a good picture with how the MTA does business with contractors. Unfortunately I do, first hand. Driven by the state, and driven by private interests to utilize public money to benefit developers, and contractors that understand intimately the weaknesses of the MTA. 1. 3/4% sales tax 2. $20.00 annual MCDT fee on all passenger vehicle registrations, and non-commercial operator licenses when residing in an are served with MTA services. Pro-rated for non NYC residents 3. MTA surcharges on telecommunication services 4. Taxes to the NY (Wall Street) financial industry 5. Should I forget, a congestion pricing toll, even at 1 AM. So no, I don't believe that the MTA should spend my hard earned tax dollars on something that has no significant value, and potentially benefit developers at the cost of quality of life. No. |
