Subways Inquiry Move By Senator Griffin
Senator Griffin announced plans to discharge the Senate Finance Committee from further consideration of his resolution for a legislative investigation into why Triborough subway contracts were not awarded. He warned New York City could face an unfavorable multiyear agreement with the Interborough or Brooklyn Rapid Transit and cited the city’s debt of over 100,000,000, urging accountability before contracts are finalized. A Bayne constitutional amendment to allow a Supreme Court justice to preside over condemnation cases passed the Senate 26 to 1 and awaits passage by the House and voter approval this fall.
