This morning the transport workers Union local 100 along with elected officials and advocacy groups met at City Hall today to demand Cuomo the governor of New York to sign the lockbox bill that would secure dedicated funds that couldn't be touched to plug other deficits in the state. This Bill if signed into law, would prevent the state government from raiding funds that are dedicated to Transit
Local 100 President John Samuelsen spoke of the past raids on the dedicated funding and also informed the press on the importance of keeping a transit system a priority because of it's importance to the economy. John Samuelsen ended by saying that the budget has to stop being balanced off the backs of working people!
