Right, and as it looks now many are not buying Prendegast saying he did it when reports until late Wednesday had it where Cuomo ordered it alone.I personally think Cuomo did order it, most likely if he actually did as was suggested because Cuomo didn't want to piss off Suburban riders by shutting the LIRR and Metro North but keeping the NYC Subways, even only the underground portions open looking ahead to a 2018 re-election bid for Governor (not to mention a hopeful Presidential bid). That's why I suspect it was politically motivated only to have it backfire because of so many people being PO'ed. This may have gone (as noted before) to even possibly having Democratic Party leaders going as far as to give Cuomo a verbal beat-down over the closure because of the possible ramifications for the Democrats in trying to regain the House and Senate in 2016 due to Cuomo (if it actually was him) violating Rule #1 of politics and PO'ing Wall Street and Wall Street doubling down in their likely efforts to keep the GOP in power of both legislative branches in 2016. |
