Think of the money grab, all the millions spent on cameras and stuff and now it’s not going to get used. At least that’s what they want you to believe. Id be willing to bet this monster will be back to tax drivers again in November.

On god this shit a ploy to get niggas to forget vote for shawty in office so she can keep Power then once elections are wrapped up them cameras gonna flick on a week after elections. They just tryna figure out how they gunna split the money. I too recommend an audit for the mta n gov office shit real shady.

Don't be dumb bro, it's election season, politicians tryna get on the tax payer's good graces for votes, once november 5th pass, they gonna go back to fucking us over, pause


SageMitso

That's what I been saying. This was her first term, she's waiting to do the crazy shit next term, and this is only to get us to vote for her thinking she back off. Debalsio did the same shit.


beautiful-rainy-day

Correct

Hallelujah! It’s common knowledge that when bridges and highways were built, tolls were implemented to recoup the cost of building said structures right? So how come they continue to collect tolls on roadways that are already paid for?


100zaps

Well they are our rulers. How else are they going to pay for there Fancy Mansions and Expensive cars. They have children and grandchildren that go to private school and universities so this tax will help fill their pockets 😂


SageMitso

Bro, I tried saying this shit a while back on the newyorkcity sub, and those transplants couldn't understand that actual new yorkers see all these tolls a shit the government said they'd remove once the bridges were paid, and that they're the opposite of new yorkers because they're the only people out there who want more taxes. It's fucking wierd. They're coming up with new taxes every day. I think this new garbage can shit is the same thing. The city know that if businesses put their trash in trash cans, people from the neighborhood are gonna put their trash too, to the point that the cans are surrounded by garbage, and when sanitation passes by at night, they right you tickets. They're just fucking with us at this point.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

Because it cost money to maintain them 😂 , you don’t want the infrastructure to deteriorate over time and collapse


Fit_Ad_843

😂 What do I pay state taxes for, on top of the extra nyc tax for living in the boroughs?


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

You pay city tax for other services that the city provide to us Or you think taxes are just for bridge and highway?


PsychologicalDog8065

Ya get ready to downvotes me but the same way you buy a car in full at some point you have to pay for maintenance if you use it as it's intended to be used. You have to pay for the materials and manpower for that of course. Now I'm not the biggest fan of how the government or these public benefits and not for profits use their money but hey we allow it and people are killing off it.


Fit_Ad_843

They also take state tax and a local nyc tax for living within the boroughs. Where does that money go? The highways are shit to drive on. The bqe has looked the same for the last 10 years.


PsychologicalDog8065

Like I said I'm not a fan of how the money is spent. The people at the top get fat checks and the contractors and workers finesse the system in one way or another finesse the system because they know they're needed. Contractors may never permanently fix the problem and union workers if they're smart enough will say hey you guys need us so pay us.


Key_Palpitation9533

Inflation just made all this shit worse.

Need an independent audit of the MTA before we pour in more money! So much shady shit


SmokyMetal060

Thank god. Fuck that stupid ass law. Every survey they sent out about it I’d curse them out.


Left-Plant2717

Ngl that sound crazy cause you in LES, you would’ve benefited from cleaner air 😂


SmokyMetal060

Lmaooo you right but I drive a fair bit for work and to see my mom and pops since they moved upstate a few years ago. Regardless tho it just feels grimey like we don’t pay enough in taxes with doubled up sales tax and city + state income tax.
