Given the opportunity to demonstrate that they can solve problems: improving the transit system for millions of New Yorkers - especially poorer and disabled riders, take steps to improve the environment, AND make it easier for who want or need to drive to drive in lower Manhattan; Democrats chose to make a power-grab and throw it all away.
It's absolutely disgusting. Yes the MTA is a mess, yes this money could have been spent more efficiently by a better run organization, and I'm sure the plan wasn't perfect; but to see Dems very publicly go out of their way to show they can't solve problems if doing so upsets a handful of rich people is somewhere between disheartening and enraging.
