COMPTROLLER’S
STATEMENT RE: MTA Appeal of Judge York’s Decision |
| “I’m
disappointed that the MTA has appealed Judge York’s decision
that transit fares should be rolled back - but I’m optimistic
that his ruling will be upheld by the appellate courts. The issue
is clear: The public should not have to pay a fare hike that was adopted
without clear and accurate evidence that it was necessary. Judge York
accepted that logic and it’s time that MTA officials do the
same.” |
