Transit Tax Oops Means MTA Shortfall Of Over $200 Million
Apparently the state miscalculated how much the MTA would get from a payroll tax associated with the bailout and it turns out the transit agency is getting at least $200 million less than expected
Let’s see here…when the economy is already forcing businesses to lay off employees–mainly due to a lack of funds…raising the cost of employment will solve another problem?
Makes no sense to me…but in the backwards world of Albany apparently it made sense….
