Ever wonder what that new MTA tax levy is buying us on the East End?
Easy--less train service.
Suffolk County Legislator Ed Romaine and various other folks will hold a press conference on Monday to protest the MTA's decision to eliminate ALL train service between Ronkonkoma and Greenport, the North Fork line. The press conference will be at the Riverhead train station.
“First the state institutes a payroll tax to fund the MTA and now they are completely eliminating service to the North Fork? I’m at a loss for words,” said Romaine.
It begs the question: How long before the South Fork's meager service is trimmed back even further, or eliminated altogether? Perhaps then we'll at least get to drop the MTA tax...right?
