Letsen Renews Attack on Parkway Authority
Former State Senator Royden A. Letsen renews his attack on the East Hudson Parkway Authority and calls for its abolition. He notes the authority started in 1960, took its first contract five years later, and spent 5.5 million dollars to reconstruct nine tenths of a mile in Mt Vernon in 1965. Letsen says the state’s credit is not behind the authority and bond issues require toll guarantees, calling the authority a flop that offers patronage and political plans for Republicans. He argues it cannot adequately modernize parkways.
