But not every union worker is a crook everyone should take a cut starting with the top and going down. One thing though Subway riders have always got off cheap, subsidized by the government, and the price needed to be raised a long time ago. I just love when they call the proposed raises "Draconian" preposterous exaggeration. The time has come for the price to rise no more government free rides, get over it and face the facts.

They can't continue to "steal" from the taxpayers and the riding public. Andy Cuomo - you would do well to look into phony overtime and phony disability claims.
