Mayor Bill de Blasio plans to push for a tax on wealthy New Yorkers to pay for improvements needed to address the crisis engulfing New York City’s subway.
His funding push comes as the subway faces a multitude of problems, and leaders at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority have called on Mr. de Blasio to provide more money for the system.
Day after day, subway riders in New York City have voiced a steady drumbeat of grievances as the century-old system has descended into disarray. Trains are unreliable.
Rush hour malfunctions paralyze the city. When a train derailed in Manhattan, injuring dozens of people, it raised concerns over whether the subway was even safe.
DeBlasio has no answer to this problem. His suggestion should have been 3 years ago to be considered. No More Taxes. Do with what been taxed already.
