Debate over New York transportation bond act looms
Albany faces a $3.8 billion transportation bond act on the ballot amid strong support from Gov Pataki and supporters, and opposition from critics who warn the state already carries heavy debt. Proponents argue the funds will relieve congestion and modernize transit, while opponents call the plan a blank check for politicians and warn of higher taxes to service $36.8 billion in debt.
