I told you years ago the city/state fiscal problems would be brutal... >> MTA approves 2010 'doomsday' budget The MTA will hold public hearings on specific aspects of the plan and then vote again, leaving an opening for an 11th-hour rescue by the city or the state. http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20091216/FREE/912169992/1066

Typical political pose and maneuver scenario. "11th hour rescue" is exactly what will happen. MTA lobs doomsday stories to local media to cause outcry with riders, who in turn cry to their local pols. Big Daddy NYS coughs up the funds after pressure from elected officials who fear losing their jobs.
Why do we bother with this entire charade? I'd rather read about Tiger Woods and Octo-mom.
