Paterson Tells MTA To Give Up E-Z Pass Tags
Gov. David Paterson ripped the Metropolitan Transportation Authority over some members resistance to hand over their E-Z Pass tags, and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is saying today that he’ll sue to have board members give up the freebies.
“Some members of the MTA board are considering voting in opposition to Chairman Hemmerdinger’s proposal to restrict their own personal use of free E-ZPass tags, commuter rail passes, and other special benefits,” Paterson said.
“At a time when millions of state residents are feeling the pinch of an economy in turmoil and struggling to support their families, such a decision would demonstrate an utter contempt for average New Yorkers. And according to Attorney General Cuomo, it would violate the law.”
