Ahhh..are you trying to say that Moses wasn't at least part responsible for the demise of the Second System?He was Directly involved with the haulting of the Van Wyck subway.. Directly involved with the "plug pulling" of the LIE subway.. Directly involved with the SAS being pulled by the city ,due to his being the only representive going to DC to get money for capital projects. Though he couldn't completly hault ALL subway building..he sure tried his damnedest to slow it down to a crawl... He even managed to pull the subway Unification out of the city budget..while keeping the TBTA,and its funding in tact..without the city being able to touch any of it funding. He conned the PORT AUTHORITY to help him construct one of his bridges..at the expense of a new rapid transit line to STATEN ISLAND..Then got them to scrap the 125th st bridge[the Narrows Bridge twin] to build the Narrows span! He fleeced the WORLDS FAIR out of MILLIONS of dollars..and didn't do one day of jail time. The guy was incouragable..without question.. |
