Butch La Guardia’s Liberalism Returns Through Transit Tax Debate
A critical look at municipal ownership and transit subsidies in New York recalls past debates. La Guardia’s plan for 2 percent rents tax, 2 percent hotel rental tax, 2 percent property rentals, and assorted levies seeks $51.7 million to run subways and buses, arguing against doom of public ownership while warning of a 10 cent fare era. The piece frames this as a cyclical rebuke of liberal policy and echoes broader postwar political shifts.
