Why don't each of those 2,000 petition signers cut a check for $50? That way Pequot would have about a third of their stipend restored. What's that.....oh, better to demand that OTHER people's money be used. View Comment
Overtime bonanza. Two MTA police cars at my station this morning....sitting driver side to driver side yakking it up. No walking around the platforms or the waiting room and storage area, r checking garbage cans and dumpsters.

So, there was no "meeting" where all of this was discussed and negotiated but CLEARLY the Chief and the rest of them knew exactly how they were gaming the system.
Criminal liability no. Ethical and fiscal malfeasance? If it walks like a duck . . . View Comment
The pols are frightened. They never expected the level of outrage that the 6.4% hike generated. Hundreds of people showed up on Saturday at the senior Center to put in their 2 cents.
For the first time in a long time people are combing through the budget and asking questions. I think the Head Librarian may be in hiding! View Comment
1) A very skewed study from a very biased source.
2) Min wage is a starter/lowest level item
3) Most studies show that the number on households headed by a minimum wage earner is extremely low. Usually min wage earner is part of a household headed by someone making much more....a teenager....a low education spouse. In fact many min wage earners work at more than one job. View Comment

Please get the terminology correct. NO "assault weapons" are available for sale to the general public. By definition such weapons must have an auto fire function (i.e., sub-machine gun fire). Because they resemble in appearance actual military weapons our politicians have deemed them "Scary looking" and thus they "are" what they are not.
Also, do not use the term "clip"...which Hollywood mistakenly bandies about in "action" movies. The devise which holds the ammunition and feeds it into the chamber (from whence it is fired) is a magazine. Very few firearms use a "clip" which was a strip which holds several rounds and is it self fed into the firearm. Ask Granddad about his WWII M-1 rifle, View Comment
They'll get their tolls. And, NO the money will not stay in the transportation budget....maybe for a year or two but then they'll pass some "special' "temporary" budget slight of hand and that will be the end of that. Just like the lottery doesn't really fund education anymore.
When they build the tolls let's INSIST that they put one in the virtually never used Greenwich truck "inspection" site. View Comment
