Comparing the status of the New York City subway system to many international models, there is much work we could do to clean the subway areas, and replace old models with newer, quieter, faster ones.

Misnaming social programs as "entitlements";

Social Security payments should be made on a date certain (like they used to be) rather than a certain day of a certain week of the month. Recipients now must wait five weeks several months in the year before receiving their payment, which throws off the recipient's payment of other monthly obligations, thereby making those payments overdue. Social Security Administration is an entity unto itself much like the Internal Revenue Service, and the people of the United States have no recourse. They will not even respond to individual correspondence.

As a New York resident you are about to be saddled with an astronomical cost, via increased taxes, and reduced quality of life due to more traffic jams, 5 to 10 or more years of noise, dust, increased air pollution, and inestimable environmental damage to the Hudson River, it’s aquatic life, and the surrounding communities. The cause of all this: Our State Governor has embarked on a project to replace The Tappan Zee Bridge— a completely unnecessary, $5 to $10 billion or more undertaking, with an unbalanced state budget, borrowed funds and already strained public services. PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND PUT A STOP TO THIS MADNESS

In PA, we have thousands of people on waiting lists for needed human services to help them survive and live in the community. Why not come up with a new model for services that uses timebanks and people who have been trained by DPW to provide services. There is a model in existance in Rhode Island that does this now. It is a great help to the community.
