I like traveling, and mostly buy winter vacation packages on Expedia and Travelocity stores at CouponAlbum..

bruno gets that you can always win by saying that people are taxed enough but that they need more services in the same breath? wow, he gets it.

What is clear is this. It is in the Governor’s political interest that the citizens experience fare increases, to the extent they are going to be done, early in his administration so that as he runs for relection he will not then have to do so.

Quite the opposite for Senator Bruno. He wants the fare increase postponed early in the Governors cycle and to take credit it for it in next years election. And to pin the blame on Spitzer when he has to run in the face of fare increases.

“The people who travel around are taxed enough.” Clear?

This is clear: “Transit riders pay enough.”

Um, Bruno does say “travel around” not “drive around”. his comments are clearly directed more at the fare, not the toll.

These guys always neglect the fact that there are many more ways than one to enter the city, and even with congestion pricing one can make one’s own decision how to do so. Let’s face it: if you are coming into the city for economic reasons, whether you are a kitchen cabinet installation company or a tycoon, it is in your best interest do to so expeditiously. Time is money.
