Sources tell CBS 2 HD that putting tolls on some or all of the East River bridges is part of the bailout plan being considered for the MTA. “People coming into the city should be paying for some of the service they get,” Schwartz said.
Tolling all four bridges may be a heavy lift for Mayor Michael Bloomberg right now, which is why it’s possible tolls could be put on just two. Another option is to have tolls only during morning and evening rush hours. Sources say putting tolls on all four spans could raise almost $1 billion for mass transit.
The Post provided a lot of good campaign coverage, but readers have been consistently critical of the lack of probing issues coverage and what they saw as a tilt toward Democrat Barack Obama. My surveys, which ended on Election Day, show that they are right on both counts.
Barack Hussein Obama plans to use his power of the Executive Order immediately:
WASHINGTON (AP) – President-elect Obama plans to use his executive powers to make an immediate impact when he takes office, perhaps reversing Bush administration policies on stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.
Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a letter Saturday to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson that the administration should consider expanding the bailout to include car companies.
Incidentally, don’t expect McCain to be on board with Conservatives post-Obama; expect another iteration of the Gang of 14 and other obstructionist measures taken in sympathy with any number of Demorat ideals. Just an Important Safety Tip from BZ to my dear readers.
They’re spending our money so fast, the printing presses can’t keep up. At this rate, we’re leaving a huge pile of debt for our great, great, great, great, great, great grand children. It’s disgusting!
So it begins. Let’s just hope we can undo the damage in 12 on.
Lets see… slow economy? Check.
Higher taxes? Check.
Bailout inefficient companies and labor unions? Check.
Stop oil exploration on the continental shelf? Check.
Wanting to destroy the coal industry? Check.
Mandatory ‘volunteerism’ for federal service in a ‘youth corps’? Check.
Yes, if you are reading all that as a Communist driven Cult of Personality to wipe out productivity in America, increase federal ‘help’ and make us all poorer, then you have correctly identified the nostrum being presented. Barry doesn’t get the National Socialist award… he is to ‘touchy-feely’ with terrorists, killers and international thugs of all sorts… a National Socialist wouldn’t do that.
Now all Congress has to do is grab the 401(k) plans, all other IRA equivalents and we will be right back in the Great Depression with the help of the federal government.
And only about 26% of the total adult population having voted for it.
What will happen when you threaten slackers with hard work and bread lines? Looks like we get to find out!
Well, look at it this way, AJ: they’ll just go back to their parents no matter the age and drain THEIR accounts even faster.
Oh, and let’s not forget that Obama wants to give Guantanamo terrorists their own CIVIL trials now! THAT’s WAY more important than worrying about some stupid economy!

*******************
McLame wasn’t on board with conservative PRE-Obama…
Wasnt exec order on of Bush’s things? So now Obama wants to use one of Bush’s tactics so much for “change” right out of the gate, well actually in front of the gate.
Executive orders have been around since 1789.
Well all I can say is all this is sick. I hope Obama gets impeached when the morons that voted for him realize how stupid they were to vote for him to begin with.
