With this economic crisis going the state and the city of New York is going to budget problems. Governor Paterson has being saying for quit some time that New York is running out of money but just this week I found out that the M.T.A will be cutting service. Well I thought to my self what can they possibly cut now. Well they are cutting to train lines and cutting back on bus service. This was the obvious action that they would have taken, so I wasn't surprise. What surprise me was the elimination of student metro card. This was alarming to me at first but I thought that of coarse mayor Bloomberg and governor Paterson would not let that happen. Well I was wrong they let it happen and now mayor Bloomberg is proposing another way to take money out of people's money. This was alarming the lack of interest the mayor had towards this especially to me being one of his young supporter. Now the M.T.A wants the Board Of Education to pay for the metro cards but with no one having money this will be going no where. This will make parent pay $1,000 per child to send to school. Please keep in mind this is all happening because a miss $400 million calculation accountants. My personal question is who would make a $400 million mistake like this.
