Fate of NY Transit Funding “Lockbox” Hangs In The Balance - Transportation Nation

UPDATE 2. Michael Whyland, press secretary to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, just called to say he expects the lockbox bill will be voted on tonight and that it will have “broad support.” It already has 39 sponsors. […] Whyland’s bottom line: if the introduction of the lockbox bill doesn’t spark a gridlock-inducing debate about the NY MTA payroll tax, it’ll probably pass. Then comes Cuomo.
