lol wut? This is porkier than what most Democrats come up with.

[KC_Lion]

You know a town with money is like a mule with a spinning wheel.

No one knows how he got it and danged if he knows how to use it.

I've sold Monorails' Brockway, Ogdenville, and Northhavenbrooke and by Gum it them on the Map!!!

It’s NY- You know this just screams a future Lyle Lanley money-grab... (Any Simpsons fans?)

[justlurking]

There's nothing on earth like a genuine, bonafide MONORAIL!

[9YearLurker]

The GOP candidate for Senate in MA is running on a platform that includes a $10 national minimum wage.

[dennisw]

They will only build a mono-rail if they can finagle billions in Federal funds/// meaning all taxpayers will pay for this BS

[LyinLibs]

Maybe they’ll dig up Ted Kennedy to run this boondoggle.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I guess they think if they get a monorail it will make them Disney Land.

[schm0e]

For what?

And this, after they turned a perfectly good elevated line on the west side into a freaking garden?

[ThomasThomas]

Sounds like a saving plan to me. A subway has three rails. A monorail has only “mono” one. It should only 1/3 as much as a subway and they won’t be under water when the ocean rises.

[longtermmemmory]

expell NYC from NYS.

make NYC a federal district.

[DManA]

He expressed a wish to see “monorails going down the middle of the streets,” in keeping with his role as the fearless ideas man in the field.

Fearless ideas man from the 19th century.

[PATRIOT1876]

It looks like someone was going through a stack of Popular Science magazines from the 1950’s and read “Glimpse of the Modern Future”. They noticed that NYC was supposed to have a monorail by 1985 and they had better play catch up.

Not only that it's porktastic!

[hadaclueonce]

Bloomingidiot told us that he needs money because NYC is going to sink. Now he wants a monorail to get folks to the sink hole faster?

[John O]

But it was John Catsimatidis, the grocery-store baron and long-shot Republican hopeful

I always wondered what Willie Green's real name was.

[The Wizard]

this a great idea that people will love

[Secret Agent Man]

liberal idiots are just obssessed with fixed rail systems.

Literally obssessed. I think they all remember those slideshows of “The World of Tomorrow” as children and the first one at Disneyland, and then of course, Logans Run with the rail pods for travel, and just wet themselves.

But in keeping with the liberal mindset, they pick the most absolutely inflexible method of travel - rail - and the most costly to implement and move underground utilities and reinforce the street where the track is - and on top of that most disruptive to street traffic.

They are total idiots and should not be allowed in any decision-making positions ever.

[Joe Boucher]

sounds like Bostons big dig where EVERY piggy ate off the gub mint trough.
Yes sir all you dem supporters and unionists, step right up and suck the teet of big gub mint.

[AtlasStalled]

Yep . . . election coming up . . . time to throw more shovel-ready job proposals which the government can’t afford and the citizens don’t need. Some things never change.

[xp38]

Meanwhile in Sydney Australia.

They are soon closing their monorail and demolishing the infrastructure.

[livius]

They might actually be easier and cheaper to build than expanding the current underground network. And the LI Expressway is totally dysfunctional because it’s simply too crowded (for that matter, the trains are overcrowded too). So this really might not be a bad idea.

I’d have to see more about it, though.
