I’m just shocked that he thought private industry would be better at anything.
He’s turning on the “fiscal conservative” juices strongly, obviously to run for pResident in 2020.
Rudy I would have proudly voted for.
This guy, he’s a disgrace to his Italian last name and his religion.
The Cuomo dynasty doesn’t engage in multi-million dollar deals out of an altruistic desire to do something good for the nation or the common man.
Follow the money.
They have somehow figured out a way to scam the federal, state and city governments and screw taxpayers and transit riders out of really big money.
How much do you want to bet that once the deal is done and the contracts signed, we find out that there are family connections between the contractor(s) and the Cuomos?
The second scum of NY, the first is smucky schumer.
A typical Liberal half measure.
Sure, privatize it by only making a contract for a private firm to “manage it”, and then watch NY & state, and federal officials tell that “private contractor” all the unprofitable things they want done to “their station” which would still be owned by Amtrak.
No. Privatize 100% of Amtrak.
They would dump all the unprofitable train lines they are forced to keep all over the country, but keep the Northeast corridor lines (Boston to D.C.) that would be profitable all on their own. Then they’d be a profit making company that would on their own fix and improve Penn Station.
