I'm not sure how you can see this as anything other than positive for the MTA. As to mismanagement or simply mistakes, it happens all the time in business. If you are big enough and have the cash flow you recover from your mistakes. If you aren't you go under.
You know at one time the phrase due diligence really meant something, now a days it appears to mean do it my way. The problem is often the do it my way crowd just doesn't know a thing about what is being discussed.
The vast majority of those budget problems are due to what? Let me tell you, NYC and the ignorance of the Democrat political party there. As someone that lives in upstate NY you need to realize that we see the entire NYC area as a cesspool of waste, apathy and laziness. Ny is no longer the empire state it is in fact a welfare state and a breeder of political corruption. This directly due to the unbalance in the political spectrum in the NYC area.
I wish NYC was its own state, we do not need upstate. Keep the neo-cons out of our business.
I think your nasty political views are not welcome here. Go away.
