MTA Says NYC Can Afford to Waste Tax Dollars

A complaint to the MTA about the absurd $4+ million renaming of the Triborough Bridge returned a shocking email admission from MTA officials. In their arrogance, the MTA (Manhattan Transit Authority) put in writing what all of us fear - our officials do not believe they need to stop their own reckless spending of our tax dollars in pursuit of their own personal and political pet projects.

Today I received a call from “Warranty Services” from the number (303) 749-9642 that was a shocker - lies, misrepresentations, glib talking, pressure sales and a shocking ending. I think every U.S. citizen has been plagued by at least a dozen calls a month from shady sounding companies like “Warranty Services” or “Card Services” - or some other generic name. This slick scam seems designed to fool the average person into believing that their car dealer, bank, or credit card company is calling to offer them a special offer. Not so and I’d like to begin a class action lawsuit against the responsible party if our state Attorney Generals can’t seem to get the job done.
