Personally, I think the political reaction can be sweet or bitter, or maybe bits of both to showcase the power. Now whether or not LIRR has enough and powerful enough allies to pull this off, I don't know.On the sweet side: do non-rail related favors for legislators, e.g., sponsor their pet projects in return for their vote. (LBJ was a master of the political deal, and read Caro's or Dallek's books to see how effective he was in buttering people up to support civil rights laws by rewarding allies). On the bitter side: withhold support from pet projects, have legislative superiors be petty with their non-cooperating inferiors, spite the non-cooperating legislator on any transit project, smear the non-cooperating legislators, etc. |
