It is really shameful that any Queen's legislator could vote for this tax scheme. Council members Liu and Gioia will have some explaining to do to Queen's residents on how they turned their backs on their borough and agreed to a plan that puts the burdens of this tax squarely on the outer boroughs. Councilman Monserrate joins the greats like Ninfa Segerra and Herman Badillo as traitors of their own communities for purely personal gain. Councilman sanders is a joke anyway. He has no political future anyway. Hopefully the Assembly will stand tall and put this joke of a proposal to bed for good. This is NOT a congestion relief plan. This is NOT an environmentally sound plan and this is NOT a health plan. Its a regressive tax. Residents of the outer boroughs will pay the price in dollars, in increased traffic and pollution around transit hubs, and in increased asthma rates in the neighborhoods that can least afford it. Speaker Quinn, you have done it again; Kissed the Mayor's **s in hopes of getting his endorsement for your Mayoral bid which is less credible than even Tony Avellas.
