From the Times Ledger:A project designed to mitigate traffic on the Van Wyck Expressway in Kew Gardens, for which residents have been waiting for years, is one of hundreds of projects to have its funding halted because no state budget has been passed, the state Department of Transportation announced last week.
Gov. David Paterson said payouts on construction projects stopped March 31 and would not begin again until the state Legislature approves a budget. Legislators were in recess until April 7, after which they were expected to continue to wrangle over ways to address the $9 billion deficit facing New York.
The Kosciuszko Bridge project has also been delayed because of the budget.

Instead of securing federal funding to build a high speed train on the important, busy route from Albany to Buffalo (where is Buffalo anyway?) the funds could have gone to these unfinished projects that are dire.
Hey Queens crap why not do an expose on the horrible road conditions at both ends of the 59th st bridge??
do any of you drive? I wonder how many people blew out tires and sturts shocks.and the city is picking up the tab.....

At what point do we secede from the State?
How much longer do we have to send them out taxes only to have services denied???
