To My Non-NYC Readers: Thanks Again!
---
First you paid for my to-be-constructed Second Avenue Subway...
...and now you're paying for my new, to-be-purchased city buses:
So the next time you're visiting, the bus fare's my treat (the least I can do, since you paid for the bus itself).
Oh, and remind me again how NYC got "cheated" out of Homeland Security spending?
...and now you're paying for my new, to-be-purchased city buses:
New York City's bus service got a boost from an unlikely place Tuesday: an emergency $66 billion spending bill in Congress whose primary purpose was to pay for the war on terror and Hurricane Katrina rebuilding.Because, of course, all our buses were wiped out by Hurricane Katrina (or, apparently, by Iraqi terrorists).
The measure, passed in the House, included some $132 million for new, cleaner city buses, among the other dollars it appropriated for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
