Cuomo said the Metropolitan Transportation Authority approved overtime hours for workers but “we never authorized fraud and theft and criminality.”
He went on to question why MTA management did not step in and put an end to the practice of billing for excessive overtime costs.
This is not a new issue for the MTA. They have been criticized for years on lack of an effective time and attendance system. Why didn’t they change it? Why didn’t they fix it? There’s no excuse in my opinion,” Cuomo said, adding he agreed with MTA chairman Patrick Foye for the need to appoint an independent investigator.
”Find out A- the extent they can, how widespread the fraud, or possible fraud, is, and B, explain to the MTA what management system has failed that has allowed this to go on and didn’t catch it,” he said.
Cuomo has been in the office for eight years, neglected the MTA as much as it deteriorated to that level, and now pointing the figure at someone else.
