It's a good time for some bad taste...

It's Friday. I don't understand the obsession that Albany legislators have with pretending to be fast food workers. But this is a great photo caption opportunity!

Look, it's that guy who let de Faustio steal his non-starter millionaire tax to fund the MTA idea.

A complete insult to hard working people, you know people who actually have REAL jobs and actually work for a living.

Why do these asshole elected officials always have to play act as the working class, hell, they don't even support the working class with their bad actions, lack of concern, greedy pockets and a do nothing bad work ethic.

What I would be doing if I didn't have a taxpayer-funded do-nothing job.

Work on L Line - years of open discussion on solving issue - opinions everywhere on what is the problem and how to solve it.

Let Astoria know the train stations are being improved - months years in advance. Opportunity for discussion input from community. Electeds, community board, press.

Fell into a dark hole.

Everyone blindsided. Will solve it by throwing our money at the merchants ... and landlords.

These warm fuzzy pix will remain high on search engines for 'ASTORIA POLITICIAN.'

Looks like he's found his calling, although being a politician, will eventually screw some orders up.

NOT SURPRISED ON THIS STUNT. THAT COMMUNITY, ITS BOARD, ITS ELECTEDS? THEY JUST IGNORED EVERYTHING GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS - JUST ON AUTOMATIC PILOT UP THERE. THAT IS UNTIL REAL ESTATE STARTED TO GET HURT - NOW THEY ARE READY TO USE TAXES TO SUBSIDIZE THE LANDLORDS.

Completely agreed. These guys love playing dress-up and pretend, it's easier than manning-up and doing the work for real as a day-in, day-out grind. Scores those delicious brownie points with the base, too.

He's maybe the only decent pol in Queens. He's a Harvard graduate and has a full brain, not like the other muppets in this borough.

Ya'all complaining about his handling of the MTA is hilariously wrong. They hate him. He's one of few electeds that is pushing against them.

The MTA does whatever the fuck they want. It is their MO to try to tell the community little or nothing, because they know they're going to face a backlash no matter what. Better in their minds to just spring shit on us, like the E/M shutdown last christmas, and canceling the 7 express while they lash on more duct tape to keep the viaduct from falling.

I thought he was a decent pol too, but he loses credibility when he pulls stunts like this. And it's a waste of taxpayer's dollars too.

ANOTHER VALLONIA TROLL - MISTER, YOU ARE ALL SMUG CODDLED NITWITS WHO LIVE IN AN ISOLATED ENCLAVE. THE MTA HAS BEEN TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT THIS PROJECT FOR YEARS. UNLIKE THE 'L' TRAIN USERS, WHERE DEBATES ARE ONGOING ON WHAT TO DO, YOUR POLITICIANS AND COMMUNITY BOARD DID NOTHING AND YOU WERE ALL TOO STUPID TO NOTICE OR CARE. YOU CRYBABIES HAVE NO ONE'S SYMPATHY. ENOUGH ALREADY.

What? Cannot think of anything this guy has done or legislation he has passed. Just one photo op after another by the local lapdog press. Punching his card in until he gets a judgeship or retires as a commissioner in Albany. Just warms a seat doing fundraising for the machine.
